Trust score

Combine the signals you hold into one weighted 0 to 100 trust score for a seller or buyer.

Combine results you already hold into one 0 to 100 trust score for a seller or buyer. You send the signals, each as a value from 0 to 1, and we weight them.

curl -sS -X POST 'https://api.trustverify.co.uk/api/v1/trust-score' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TRUSTVERIFY_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
