Verify if a Nigerian ID document is legit through OCR

How It Works

The endpoint is constructed as follows.

https://api.appruve.co/v1/ocr_jobs/ng/{id_type}

id_type should be replaced with the specific ID type. Supported ID types are passport, voter, driver_license, and national_id

The request is a multipart POST request as shown in the example below. The id_image parameter is required and the value could be a File Object or a web URL.

curl --location --request POST 'https://api.appruve.co/v1/ocr_jobs/ng/driver_license' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer TOKEN' \
--form 'id_image=@"/path/ng_driver_license_1.jpg"'
