Get a consumer's FICO8 credit score

Get a consumer's FICO8 credit score.

Sandbox Data

When using this endpoint in the Sandbox, you can request a specific set of data by registering and requesting data for a consumer with a specific Social Security number. In this case, the trigger for specific data is the 2nd digit of the Sandbox consumer's SSN. There are 5 deterministic responses, each corresponding to an SSN with 2nd digit: 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4. If the 2nd digit of the consumer's SSN is not in this set, the data returned will be random.

For example, you can register a Sandbox consumer with the SSN: 909-99-9999. Then, when requesting their credit.bloom.score.fico8, the following data will always be returned for that consumer:

{
  "data": {
    "type": "credit.bloom.score.fico8",
    "attributes": {
      "model": {
        "source": "equifax",
        "identifier": "02369",
        "descriptor": "FICO® Score 8 based on Equifax Data",
        "indicator": "G"
      },
      "reasons": [
        {
          "code": "01",
          "narrative": "Amount owed on accounts is too high"
        }
        
      ],
      "value": 555,
    }
  }
}

you could have registered the consumer with an SSN of 808-88-8888 or 001-23-4567. As long as the 2nd digit of their SSN is 0 (i.e. the SSN is of the form: X0X-XX-XXXX) you can be certain the above data will always be returned.

See the examples below for all the possible responses that correspond with the 2nd digit of a Sandbox consumer's SSN.
