Call Verify API to Create a New Request
-
In the API drop-down, select Verify.
-
In the Request Type drop-down, select POST, then click Save.
-
Select all of the request inputs, then click Save.
-
Enter /verify/requests in the Relative URL field.
-
Enter the request in the Body field. For example, the following input requests data for a driver's license:
{
"description": "Upload license",
"email": "output@example.com",
"attributesRequested":
[
{"attributeType": "core.firstname"},
{"attributeType": "core.lastname"},
{"attributeType": "core.address.fulladdress"},
{"attributeType": "identity_assurance.document_verification.americas.us.verification_status"}
]
}The API returns a Body that contains an id. Use that id in the next request.
Get the userIdentityToken
-
In the API drop-down, select Verify.
-
In the Request Type drop-down, select GET, then click Save.
-
In the Relative URL field, enter a value similar to
/verify/requests/{id}/authToken.
This step will allow you to obtain the user's bearer token and the id of the request. The bearer token will allow you to call the Submit API to submit data.
Call Submit API to Submit Data
-
In the API drop-down, select Submit.
-
In the Request Type drop-down, select POST, then click Save.
-
In the Body field, add an input. The following is a sample:
{
"Request:":
{
"Relative URL": "/requests",
"metadata": "getHttpInputs",
"config": "",
"Headers":
{
"Accept": "application/json",
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"Authorization": "Bearer <bearer token obfuscated>"
},
"Body":
{
"inputs":
[
{
"type": "core.firstname",
"value": "Workflows"
},
{
"type": "core.lastname",
"value": "Test"
},
{
"type": "certifications.servsafe.servsafe_food_handler.certnumber",
"value": "1234567"
}
]
}
}
}Note the values for the Relative URL and Headers fields.
The Submit API allows you to submit data using the user's bearer token from the previous step.
