Part E.2.3
Partner verification API
ESTCA Association makes a programmatic read API available for airlines and other transport operators to evaluate certification status checks in their own systems, subject to registration and acceptance of the ESTCA data-use terms (ESTCA Standard, Part E.2.3).
Public verification API
Machine-readable access uses the same rules as the web register: you receive status, certification number, key dates, and the certifying trainer’s public information — not owner personal data. Higher throughput is available with a scoped verify:read API key after onboarding.

Data use and onboarding
Before production keys are issued, your organisation will review the data-use terms and provide technical contacts. ESTCA Association issues read-only airline verification keys separately from Certified-ESTCA ingest keys, so registry updates and airline status checks remain operationally distinct.
ESTCA verification supports assessment of canine travel-readiness evidence. It does not grant flight permission and does not replace airline approval, animal-health documentation, import/export rules or aircraft safety assessment.
Contact: contact@estca.eu with the subject "API onboarding" and a short description of the intended verification use case.
Airline engagement pathway
Airline participation, pilots or acceptance will be listed only where an operator has agreed to be named. Until then, ESTCA presents the technical pathway and verification process without claiming airline adoption.
