Integration Process Overview

Unlock seamless data exchange between your platform and AFX Research by connecting your systems two ways: use the REST API to query and manage your orders on demand, or webhooks to receive real-time notifications as your properties progress—most integrations use both together.

Our webhook system enables real-time communication for property search requests, status updates, and document delivery, all while maintaining secure connections through token-based authentication. The result is simplified automation and enhanced workflow efficiency, letting your team stay in sync with AFX without extra manual steps.

Impactful success

AFX has been something that I dreamt should exist but it didn’t seem possible. When I found out about AFX, I couldn’t believe it was real until I saw it work.

We used to have to sit on draw requests with the inspection report in hand while waiting for updated title reports to come back—sometimes up to 5 days. Borrowers were less than thrilled that we had a draw report in hand and still couldn’t release the funds.

AFX has completely solved that issue as we get title reports in a matter of hours. It has been a complete game changer, and now our borrowers are able to receive their draws once we sign off on the inspection report without waiting any longer.

Machine-readable by design
