Welcome to the Torch API Program!

Our APIs offer the following benefits:

  • Get started right away: Visit our API Catalog to find out what our APIs do, how they work and what you need to do to interface with them. Use our sandbox and get building now. Our APIs need just a few lines of code to run in your applications.

  • Clear overview: You always know what is happening. Use our API analytics to track your users’ activity in your applications and adjust your tactics if necessary.
  • Be creative: We are giving you the opportunity to use exclusive APIs to help shape the future of USCIS API Services.
