person.cross-registry

Sweep a person's name across five US public registries in one call: FINRA securities brokers, federal-court attorneys (CourtListener), federal inmates (BOP), Texas trade licenses (TDLR), and Texas real-estate licenses (TREC). Returns one block per registry with found/error status, match count, and the matching records — name-matched CANDIDATES, deliberately not merged into one identity (same name does not mean same person; verify with each registry's identifier before acting). Due-diligence, KYC screening triage, and background-research staple. Each registry is also a standalone endpoint (/api/license/broker, /api/law/attorney-lookup, /api/gov/inmate-locator, /api/license/trades, /api/license/real-estate) for follow-up by identifier.

Code samples

cURLbash

# 1. Probe with no auth → 402 envelope with PaymentRequirements
curl -sS 'https://2s.io/api/person/cross-registry?name=xxx&limit=5'

# 2. Sign + retry with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE:
curl -sS 'https://2s.io/api/person/cross-registry?name=xxx&limit=5' \
  -H 'PAYMENT-SIGNATURE: <base64-json-payload>'

# Or use the canonical runner (handles probe → sign → retry):
#   EVM_PRIVATE_KEY=0x... node --env-file=.env.local \
#     --experimental-strip-types scripts/x402-pay.ts \
#     'https://2s.io/api/person/cross-registry?name=xxx&limit=5'
