Data providers

Abstract

Your data providers are the services you use to provide information for your checks, for example, Moody's Orbis, GBG ID3global, or Kompany KYC API.

Your data providers are the services you use to provide information for your checks, for example, Moody's Orbis, GBG ID3global, or Kompany KYC API.

When you run a check in Maxsight, the entity details are sent to the selected data provider. The provider returns data that Maxsight uses to determine the outcome of the check.

Each data provider has its own methods and data coverage, so the configuration options available in Maxsight depend on the provider you choose.

Multiple data providers can be assigned to one check, so if one data provider fails, another is tried. This is called waterfalling your check.

Multiple checks can be assigned to a task, and multiple data providers can be assigned to each check.

Refer to Check type by data provider for the complete list of data providers by check type.

When configuring an automatic check for a task, you can specify that if your preferred data provider returns an error, returns a partial error, or the check fails, another data provider is tried. This is called waterfalling your check.
