FousVA LGY Hub

Get your WebLGY COE statuses through an API

Look up a Veteran's Certificate of Eligibility in WebLGY and read the Activate Users and Validate Users lists with one API call each. Or have a workflow check every Pending COE in your pipeline each morning and email you the ones whose status changed.

Works with your own VA LGY Hub account. Fous is an independent product.

Automate LGY Hub with a workflow

A workflow runs your methods as one process, with nobody at the screen. A schedule or a call from your own system starts it, the steps run in order, and the result arrives in your inbox or in the systems you already use.

  • Pending COEs that VA has decided, every morning

    Build this
    Starts
    Every weekday at 8:00
    Step 1
    For each Veteran in your pipeline, look up the COE status in Search/Automated Certificate of Eligibility.
    Step 2
    Keep the Veterans whose status changed since the last run.
    Step 3
    Email you the list with your loan reference and the old and new status for each Veteran.
  • 90-day user validation, before the window closes

    Build this
    Starts
    Every Monday at 9:00
    Step 1
    Read the Validate Users list in WebLGY's Admin menu.
    Step 2
    Stop the run when no users are listed.
    Step 3
    Email you the validation window and the users listed for validation.
  • New users waiting for activation, posted to your IT queue

    Build this
    Starts
    Every weekday at 10:00
    Step 1
    Read the Activate Users list in WebLGY's Admin menu.
    Step 2
    Keep the users who were not there on the last run.
    Step 3
    Post each new user's details, as the page shows them, to your ticketing system's webhook.

You can run a workflow by hand on every plan, Free included. Schedules and webhook triggers come with the paid plans, from $29 a month.

Once built, one call from your code

Once you have built a method, it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Look up a Veteran's COE status” would look like.

Example request
curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "lgy.va.gov/get_coe_status",
    "input": {
      "veteran_ssn": "000-00-0000",
      "year_of_birth": "1984"
    }
  }'
Example response
{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "status": "Pending",
    "status_detail": "Awaiting Supporting Documentation",
    "existing_eligibility_record_on_file": true
  }
}

An example with invented data, not a ready-made endpoint. The method exists in your organization once you build it, and its name, inputs and fields follow your request.

LGY Hub’s own options

VA's developer portal lists three Loan Guaranty APIs. The Loan Review API is in production and is the required way to send Full File Loan Review documents; the Guaranty Remittance API is listed as sandbox only. The portal lists no API for COE searches or WebLGY user administration, which are done in WebLGY.

OptionWhat it coversWhat it takes
Loan Review APISends post-close Full File Loan Review documents with the ULAD and UCD datasets to VA. Required for loans selected for FFLR since November 4, 2024.A production API account (Portal ID), requested by your Lender Admin in the LGY Help Center with your 10-digit home office lender ID.
Guaranty Remittance APIChecks a pre-close loan against VA policy, submits a closed loan for guaranty and returns the Loan Guaranty Certificate.Listed on VA's developer portal as available only in sandbox.
Loan Guaranty APIUploads a property's appraisal score report and gets its status.Your Loan Guaranty service account connected to the API.
WebLGY by handCOE search and applications, the Admin menu's Activate Users and Validate Users, and the rest of WebLGY, one Veteran or screen at a time.Your own LGY Hub account, signed in with ID.me, activated by your company's Lender/Servicer Admin.

Signing in to LGY Hub

LGY Hub signs external users in through AccessVA with ID.me: an email address and password, then a second step by text message, authentication app, voice call or a U2F security key. Each person needs their own account. With Fous you sign in through LGY Hub's own sign-in with your own account, and the login is sealed with AES-256, never returned by the API, and never seen by your code or AI agents.

Worth knowing

FFLR files go through the API only
Since November 4, 2024, LGY no longer accepts Full File Loan Review files uploaded to WebLGY Correspondence. FFLR documents must be sent with the Loan Review API, with a 100 MB limit per file.
Two 90-day rules keep accounts alive
A user who does not log in to LGY Hub for 90 days is deactivated. Your Lender/Servicer Admin must also validate every user every 90 days, in a 15-day window shown on Validate Users.
Do not resubmit a Pending COE
A Pending COE (Awaiting Supporting Documentation) must not be applied for again, and VA notifies you by email. When ACE cannot issue the COE, a Regional Loan Center decides within 5 business days.
Releases take WebLGY offline at night
For LGY Release 27.0.1 on November 12, 2026, LGY Hub and WebLGY are unavailable from 9:00 p.m. EST until the release is complete. Keep scheduled workflows clear of release evenings.

Frequently asked questions

Partly. VA's developer portal lists the Loan Review API, which is in production and required for Full File Loan Review documents, the Guaranty Remittance API, listed as sandbox only, and the Loan Guaranty API for appraisal score reports. COE searches and WebLGY user administration are done in WebLGY.

Your Lender Admin opens a case in the LGY Help Center with 'API Support' as the product and 'Request API Production Account' as the category, giving the 10-digit home office lender ID and an email address. An API account with no request for 90 days is deactivated.

WebLGY shows one of three: Approved (Ready to Issue), Pending (Awaiting Supporting Documentation) or Unsuccessful (Requires Manual Processing). VA notifies you by email, and you should not submit a new application while one is pending.

Usually because you did not log in for 90 days, or your admin did not validate you in the 90-day review. Lenders and servicers reactivate with their Affiliate ID and PIN. After a Help Desk reactivation, you must log in within 24 hours.

No. Fous is an independent product. You use it with your own LGY Hub account, and a method reads and does only what that account can.
