Case Study: Checkr streamlines API documentation and onboarding with Redocly

How Redocly’s no-compromise focus on developer freedom won the trust of an API-first Y Combinator graduate

Checkr, a technology company in the background check industry, needed to revamp its API documentation after its in-house tooling became inefficient and hard to maintain. Beth Wright, content strategist and senior technical writer at Checkr, wanted a solution that would preserve developer freedom, keep docs in Git, and avoid the lock-in and content restrictions of all-in-one SaaS tools, so the team turned to Redocly.

Redocly provided Checkr with Reference Docs and Workflows to create custom-styled, Git-first API documentation with OpenAPI 3.0 compliance and built-in collaboration automation. The result was sleek, easy-to-onboard documentation that powered partner onboarding and stayed up to date with less operational overhead, helping Checkr support thousands of employers and gig economy companies more efficiently.
