-   You want the same volume for less: £5 to £20 less a month, and half the rate for extra checks
-   You want errors as HTTP status codes and dates in ISO format
-   Your developers or coding agent will write the integration

## Choose ukrtwchecker.co.uk if

-   You also need right to rent or immigration checks from the same provider
-   You already use it and the response format suits you

## Switching over

Most integrations change these four things.

What changes when switching
| What changes | Before | After |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Reading the result | Check `code` and `status.outcome` in the body | Check the HTTP status, then `outcome` |
| Test share codes | `TEST_ACCEPTED` | `AA1AA1AA1` |
| Dates | `01/01/1990` | `1990-01-01` |
| No conditions | `"N/A"` | `[]` |

## Try it against the sandbox first

A test key and every outcome, before you move a single check.
