Hey everyone. I'm developing an HR management platform (SaaS) for mid-size companies in Mexico. One of our biggest pain points is automating the employee onboarding verification process. Right now, HR admins manually type CURPs into the RENAPO website, screenshot the results, and attach them to the employee file. It's incredibly tedious and doesn't scale.
I want to build a CURP HR API integration directly into our platform so that when an HR admin enters a new hire's CURP, we automatically validate it and pull back their official demographic data. This data would then auto-populate fields in our system — legal name, date of birth, gender, state of birth — reducing data entry errors and speeding up the onboarding process.
Beyond basic validation, here's what I need for an HR context specifically:
Batch uploads — HR teams often onboard 20-50 employees at once (seasonal workers, new office openings). Need to process a CSV of CURPs and get back results for all of them.
IMSS cross-reference — validate that the CURP matches what IMSS has on file before submitting the alta (registration) to avoid rejections.
Audit trail — compliance requires we log when each CURP was validated and what data was returned. Need timestamps and response storage.
Name matching — sometimes employees provide slightly different name spellings than what RENAPO has. Need fuzzy matching or at least a similarity score.
RFC derivation — from the validated CURP data, auto-generate the corresponding RFC for payroll tax purposes.
Our platform currently manages about 150 companies with an average of 80 employees each. During peak hiring months (January, September) we'd process maybe 3,000-5,000 CURP validations. Rest of the year it's lower, around 500-800 monthly. So I need a provider with flexible pricing that doesn't penalize us for low-volume months.
I've been looking at providers on apipull.com API Hub but I'm not sure which ones cater specifically to HR use cases versus fintech use cases. The data requirements are slightly different — HR needs less real-time urgency but higher accuracy on name matching since payroll systems are strict about exact legal names.
Anyone built something similar? Would love to see code examples of how you structured the integration, especially the batch processing part. We're on Rails with a React frontend if that matters.
