   1. First Advantage sets up API access through its own team (it offers a dedicated team of technical consultants to get you set up); there is no self-service credential page. Contact First Advantage to request API access.
   2. Use the credentials First Advantage provides; its Developer Portal and sandbox API environment let you test before production.

   Where to find the other values:

   • Base URL (optional): The API endpoint First Advantage gives you with your API access (production or sandbox).

   First Advantage issues this credential through its API or its support team, not through its admin screens.

   First Advantage's API page offers a Developer Portal, a sandbox API environment and a team of technical consultants, but no self-service token page; its developer documentation link points to apidocs.sterlingcheck.app. Request read-only access where offered. The XChange product names and an 'API account available upon request' statement were not found on the fetched pages; the standard-api page now redirects to fadv.com/api/.
