Historical employment data may have varying levels of detail depending on employer reporting
Some employment records may not be available for informal sector employment
API responses are dependent on the accuracy and completeness of data in source systems
How APIs in this Category Work Together#
The Employment APIs are designed to work together in a complementary fashion, allowing developers to build comprehensive verification workflows that start with identifier lookup and progress to detailed employment verification.Key Integration Patterns:Aadhaar To UAN + Employment History: First retrieve a UAN using an Aadhaar number, then use that UAN to fetch complete employment history
Mobile to UAN + Employment History Report: Identify a UAN from a mobile number and generate a detailed employment history report
Pan To Current Employment + Establishment Details: Verify current employment using a PAN number, then retrieve detailed information about the employing organization
Identity Verification: Provides foundational identity verification that can be combined with employment verification for comprehensive background checks
Financial Information: Complements employment data with financial history for complete financial profile assessment
Address Verification: Works alongside employment verification to validate both residential and workplace information
Education Verification: Combines with employment verification to create a complete professional profile of an individual
