IdRamp Identity Verification API - Overview (1.0)

The IdRamp Identity Verification API enables applications to initiate, monitor, and retrieve identity verification sessions using trusted verification providers integrated with IdRamp. It also includes a flexible rules-based matching utility for comparing and validating identity data.

Key Capabilities

  • Start Verification (POST /api/v1/verification): Create a new verification session for a user, specifying the IdRamp Identity Verifier configuration to use. Returns a session identifier and a provider URL where the verification flow begins.

  • Get Verification Status (GET /api/v1/verification/{identityVerifierId}/status/{verificationId}): Retrieve the current state of a verification session (started, completed). Useful for polling the session progress without fetching detailed results.

  • Get Verification Result (GET /api/v1/verification/{identityVerifierId}/{verificationId}): Fetch the full verification outcome once a session completes, including status (success, fail, canceled), provider user ID, and verified user traits such as name, email, phone, and document information.

  • Match Utility (POST /api/v1/verification/match): Evaluate custom rules to compare and match data across two records (e.g., source vs. target). Supports logical and fuzzy matching (e.g., equality, Levenshtein ratio) with detailed per-rule results.

Authentication

All endpoints require an API key sent in the request header:

x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY

Typical Flow

  1. Client calls Start Verification to create a session and obtain the provider launch URL.
  2. End-user completes verification via the provider interface.
  3. Client waits for user to be redirected back to returnUrl specified at Start signalling completion. Alternatively, the Client polls Get Status until completion.
  4. Once completed, client calls Get Result to retrieve verified attributes.
  5. Optionally, client uses Match Utility to compare verified data with existing records.
