Photo Selfie With an ID Document
Appruve makes it easy to implement a selfie photo verification flow using an ID Document. There are three steps involved.
The first step is to perform an OCR on the ID Document. The PII details on the document including the photo will be extracted. You can pass an optional custom_params object to store custom information. This information will be returned alongside the verification result object. A unique transaction_reference id will be returned. Use this in the next steps where this id is requested.
Example request:
curl --location --request POST 'https://api.appruve.co/v1/verifications/selfie_image/ocr/gh/passport' \--header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \--form '[email protected]/Users/path/p1.jpg' \--form 'custom_params[userId]=323323' \--form 'custom_params[firstName]=John' \--form 'custom_params[lastName]=Doe'
Example response:
{"id_details": {"first_name": "John","last_name": "Bruce","passport_number": "G0000000","date_of_birth": "1976-10-07","date_of_issue": "2019-07-29","date_of_expiry": "2029-07-30","place_of_issue": "Accra","id_photo": "url"},"transaction_reference": "f6ae7736-e9ba-43a4-b80f-afbca4eb47e0","face_sharpness": 99.55,"face_brightness": 76.81}
See the Face Liveness Check section on how to do this.
After the Face Liveness Check is complete, upload the selfie photo taken by the user. Appruve will match the face on the selfie photo against the face on the matched document record.
Example request:
curl --location --request POST 'https://api.appruve.co/v1/verifications/selfie_image/upload' \--header 'Authorization: Bearer ' \--form '[email protected]/Users/img.jpg' \--form 'transaction_reference=93ca2d74-e11e-4044-82d9-da7db4225045'
Example response:
{"success": true,"id": "93ca2d74-e11e-4044-82d9-da7db4225045","confidence_score": 100,"id_type": "passport","country_code": "gh","status": "success","face_on_id_document": "url","face_match_percent": 100,"id_match_percent": 100,"selfie_face_url": "url","selfie_image_submitted": "url","id_face_sharpness": 87,"id_face_brightness": 96,"selfie_face_sharpness": 88,"selfie_face_brightness": 90,"id_details": {},"created_at": "2020-05-10","custom_params": {}}
Use Webhooks if you want to receive the verification result within your server side application.
