The Veteran Confirmation API allows you to confirm Veteran status for a given person. This can be useful for offering Veterans discounts or other benefits. The API will only return “Confirmed” or “Not Confirmed”. Quickstart Guide 1. Get Access Credentials Get started by filling out the form on the Apply for VA Lighthouse Developer Access page. After submitting a request, you will receive your credentials for using the API in the Development environment, which allows you to try it out with mock data before moving to the Production environment. 2. Test the API In the endpoint documentation below, we've provided a curl command builder for trying out the API before implementation with your app. Use Test User attributes to populate the request body. 3. Build your app The base URI for the Veteran Confirmation API in the Sandbox environment is: https://sandbox-api.va.gov/services/veteran confirmation/v0 In this environment, use attributes from the list of Test Users. Only Test Users can return a "confirmed" response. Check out some of our sample apps. Please visit our VA Lighthouse Support portal should you need further assistance. 4. Show us a demo and get access to the Production environment After building your app, we ask that you give us a demo before we set you up with production credentials. Please see the Path to Production page for more details. Authorization This API requires an API key in combination with identifiable information for the person being confirmed listed below
