Using the API, you can check the status and validity of an EEREER - An Electronic Entry Requirement(EERs) is a document or authorization issued by a government to a traveller prior to their arrival. These Electronic Entry Requirements serve as a way for governments to understand who's entering their country before the traveller has arrived. Examples include: eVisa, eTA, ESTA, NzETA . You can check the validity of an application that was submitted through Sherpa, or outside of Sherpa - through government, or other channels.
