Introduction

APLYiD is a global anti money laundering (AML) product that allows businesses to verify the identity of their customers. Identity verification is done by businesses registering an account with APLYID which grants them access to APLYID’s web application where they can manage their verifications. The two most common types of verification that can be created each consist of a data capture stage where client details (address, driver licence, passport) are captured and a verification stage where captured details are checked against various data sources. These two types of verification are:

Biometric Verification:

Our most popular verification. A digital onboarding flow allowing for remote verification of individuals via document scanning and biometrics. There are three core parts:

1. A business sending a verification link (via text) to a client they wish to verify
2. The client receiving and opening the link which guides them through an eKYC onboarding flow consisting of document scanning and biometrics
3. The captured data being digitally verified and returned to the requesting business

Manual Verification:

A digital verification of manually entered client details.

1. A business provide us with client details (name, date of birth, address, identity document etc)
2. The client details are digitally verified and results returned to the requesting business APLYiD has created an Application Programming Interface (API) which allows businesses to create and manage Biometric or Manual verifications without usage of the APLYiD web application.

Purpose

The purpose of this documentation is to describe APLYiD’s API (v2) and outline how the different endpoints can be used to verify clients. This documentation is intended for software developers and system administrators and will act as a guide for integrating APLYID’s API into your own systems.
