Create a Callback Endpoint
Responses from this product are asynchronous (based on various actions we carry out on the product) and are sent as soon as they are ready, you will need to setup a callback when submitting a job. You can read about creating a Callback URL here.
The size of the payload sent to your callback varies based on the size of image returned by the ID authority. We recommend your callback should accept payloads up to 1.5MB in size.
Get the User's Selfie
To successfully run Biometric KYC jobs you need to submit the user's selfie. There are two types of selfies that can be submitted
Selfie - a single colour-image selfie of user
(optional but required for proof of live) Liveness images - 8 colour images of user
The selfies can either be submitted as files (with the path to the image specified during submission) or as base64 encoded strings.
We recommend that you use our Web SDK to capture both of these types of images
Get the ID information from your users
To submit a Biometric KYC job you need the ID information of your user. Depending on the ID type you are attempting to query, the required information varies. For the comprehensive list of required information for each ID Type, check the Supported ID Types section of the docs.
