Reference guide to military service records: how to request a DD-214, service verification steps, awards, medical and personnel records, and discharge upgrades. Returns built-in reference data with official links; it does not query NPRC or verify anyone's service.
What this actor returns. Built-in reference data that ships with the actor: program descriptions, eligibility summaries, phone numbers, and official links. It is a curated snapshot that is not updated automatically. It does not connect to the NPRC, the National Archives, or any records system; it cannot retrieve or verify anyone's service record. Demo Mode on returns a labeled sample. Demo Mode off returns the same built-in reference data, plus a pointer to the official source. Every output row carries dataSource: "built-in reference data" and isLiveData: false. Before relying on any detail, confirm it with the official source: archives.gov/veterans.
Quick Start
Test with Demo Mode (free, no API key needed)
Run a reference lookup (same built-in data, with the official-source pointer)
Input Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Default | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
task | string | "get_dd214_info" | Yes* | The operation to perform on the Military Records API |
branch | string | - | No | Military service branch |
recordType | string | - | No | Type of military record |
dischargeType | string | - | No | Type of military discharge |
webhookUrl | string | - | No | URL to receive results via webhook for automation platforms |
demoMode | boolean | true | No | true returns the labeled sample. false returns the same built-in reference data plus the official-source pointer. Neither mode makes live API calls. |
Pricing
Because this actor returns built-in reference data, it does not charge any per-lookup event, in either mode. The per-task events listed on the Pricing tab are never charged. You pay only the standard Actor start fee and the per-result fee shown on the Pricing tab.
Troubleshooting
No results or empty dataset
Check the run log for error messages. Common causes:
- Invalid input format (check the examples above)
- The target data doesn't exist or is too small to track
How do I test without an API key?
Enable Demo Mode in the input. This returns a labeled sample so you can check the output format. No API key is ever needed, because the actor makes no live API calls.
