Technical detail

Fides utilizes API endpoints to access the API service for a SaaS application. An API service is the programmatic interface through which Fides can query and update data within an application to access, rectify, or delete personal information. Each SaaS tool will have a unique set of endpoints to enable privacy functions.

Checkr Endpoints

In the table below, you can find which endpoints are used for each type of privacy function. Clicking on the endpoint will take you to the documentation for that endpoint.

Privacy functionEndpointDescription
Access RequestsList Candidates (opens in a new tab)Lists existing Candidates with the input parameters. Note: This call will not return candidates with non-US work_locations.
Update or Delete RequestsRequest PII removal for a Candidate (opens in a new tab)Requests the removal of PII from an existing Candidate.

By default, deletion requests are fulfilled by masking personal information. To enable Fides to personal information, ensure the masking_strict variable in your fides.toml file is set to false.
