Inside the VA Forms API: How We Pull, Render, and Fill at Scale
By Team Valor AI · December 12, 2024
Valor now pulls, renders, and fills VA forms through a single unified API. Here is how we keep it reliable at scale.
Highlights
- Daily ingestion pipeline syncs official VA PDFs, metadata, and change logs without manual work.
- Field mapping engine ties every form element to structured data so chat can autofill confidently.
- PDF.js viewer integration renders forms in-app with annotations, highlights, and accessibility support.
- Regression suite covers edge cases with fixtures that mirror real veteran submissions.
Why it matters
Every guided form, autofill, and PDF export depends on the API doing its job. The deeper the integration, the faster veterans can move from question to submission.
How to explore it
- Review the VA Forms API documentation in the knowledge base for endpoints and schemas.
- Launch a complex form from chat to watch data flow from the API into the PDF viewer.
- Inspect the developer console or network tab to see structured responses as they stream in.
Screenshots to capture
- API documentation page showing endpoint examples.
- Guided form in Valor with fields highlighted by the autofill engine.
- Test suite output demonstrating coverage for new form additions.
