To ensure your integration is functioning correctly and the service is operational, we provide a dedicated health check endpoint.
URL:
https://se-webservice.apps.creditsafe.com/spar/healthSandbox URL:
https://se-webservice-sandbox.apps.creditsafe.com/spar/healthMethod: GET
Authentication: Not required (no token needed)
This endpoint is designed to return a lightweight confirmation that the service is up and running. It should be used exclusively for service availability checks.
Never use regular "fake" service calls for availability checks by:
- Using invalid or random search criteria
- Repeated queries against real individuals
- Automated loops that simulate usage
Such practices lead to:
- Unnecessary load on the system, potentially affecting performance for all users
- Incorrect usage charges billed to the customer
- Data integrity risks, especially if test calls are indistinguishable from real usage
- Compliance concerns, particularly when real personal data is involved
Always use the health check endpoint for system availability verification. It is:
✅ Free of charge - No billing or quota usage
✅ Safe for production environments - No data processing
✅ Designed for monitoring tools - Optimised for automated checks
✅ No authentication required - Quick and simple to implement
Responsible use of service includes not overusing the health endpoint. Avoid excessive polling that could impact system performance. Use a minimum polling interval of 60 seconds for integrations exposed to external audiences. For other solutions, apply occasional polling only when needed, such as prior to executing batch processes or individual (on-demand) requests.

"status": "healthy",
"service": "SPAR Consumer (1231)",
"timestamp": "2025-09-15T13:27:14.3794136Z",
"version": "production"
}| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| status | String | Health status of the service. "healthy" indicates the service is operational |
| service | String | Name of the service being checked |
| timestamp | String (DateTime) | ISO 8601 timestamp of when the health check was performed |
| version | String | Indicates the environment the service is running on. For customers this will always be "production". A value of "test" or "development" indicates the service is not running on the Creditsafe production environment |
The SPAR service depends on an external system operated by the Swedish Tax Agency (Skatteverket). Creditsafe cannot guarantee 100% uptime and cannot intervene when issues occur on the SPAR side.
Even when the health endpoint returns "healthy", there may occasionally be issues related to the external SPAR system. If this occurs, contact Creditsafe support and include the apiLogId from the affected request.
