Authentication

To access the sourceID API, you'll need to authenticate your requests using an access token. This ensures the security of your data and allows us to track API usage.

Prerequisites

  1. sourceID Account: You must have an active sourceID account. If you don't have one, please reach out to [email protected].
  2. Dashboard Access: Once you have an account, you can access the sourceID dashboard to manage your API keys and settings.

Authorization Header

Use the x-api-key: {API-KEY} header to authenticate your API requests. Replace {API-KEY} with the actual API key you obtained.

Sample Request

curl -X POST \
-H "x-api-key: {API-KEY}" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
    "document_number": "example_document_number",
    "document_type": "passport"
}' \
