- First lookups query FMCSA records at request time; repeat lookups use a copy refreshed at least daily, with out-of-service orders checked every time.
Field notes
The quickstart shows a Bearer-key request to a carrier endpoint and a response organized around verdicts, score, gates, and reason codes. Its sample FAIL belongs to a fictional carrier, and includes a rules version, snapshot date, and receipt ID. The page says responses report data freshness and completeness; it also identifies the service as beta and directs users to FMCSA SAFER for critical decisions.
