# Got questions?We've got answers.

Integration, onboarding, the sandbox and scoring — the questions teams ask before their first pull.

## Frequently asked.

Something else? Talk to our team.

    What do we need to integrate CreditPullEngine into our platform?

The ability to make authenticated HTTPS requests and read JSON. There are no proprietary SDKs or heavy dependencies — requests are standard form-encoded POSTs. Most teams integrate from PHP, Node, Python or their existing backend. If your platform can consume a JSON payload, it can integrate the API.

  How long do onboarding and approval take?

Approval typically takes about two weeks: company verification, office verification and compliance review. Your integration doesn't wait for it — our engineers start working with your team within 24 hours, against the sandbox, so you're ready to go live as soon as you're approved.

  Do you support soft-pull prequalification?

Yes. Soft-pull prequalification reports give you risk clarity without impacting the consumer's credit score. Talk to us about the pull types your workflow needs and we will configure your organization accordingly.

  Will you help us integrate?

Yes — it's what sets us apart. Our engineers guide the integration end to end or work directly alongside yours: mapping data, structuring API calls, or migrating from another provider. After launch you keep personal support from the same team, not a ticket queue.

  Is there a sandbox we can test against before going live?

Yes. A dedicated sandbox mirrors production so your team can test authentication, payloads, error handling and workflow logic without touching live consumer data. When your integration is green, your account manager promotes your organization to production.

  Is the CPE Score Forecast a FICO® or VantageScore® score?

No. The CPE Score Forecast is a proprietary estimate derived from the normalized report, returned with a confidence interval, a risk tier and the top factors holding the score down. It ships with a disclaimer you must display alongside it. Official FICO® and VantageScore® models are supported separately.

## Start your integration within 24 hours.
