call03 9948 4089Download an IDPass image returns one verification image as raw bytes: a document photo, the standalone ID photo or the liveness probe image. Images are only retained when the IDPass was launched with return verification images turned on, and the types available are listed in the show response. The endpoint is not billed.
For the technical detail, go to the API documentation. It holds the request and response schema, the integration guides and the error codes for this endpoint.
New accounts begin with sandbox access.
Some files need the document images and the selfie, not only the certificate. When retention was turned on at launch, each image can be fetched by its type and stored with the record.
The images array on the show response lists each available image with its type, title and MIME type, for example the front of a driver licence, the ID photo or the liveness probe image.
The response is the image's stored bytes with its MIME type and a Content-Disposition header suggesting an inline filename.
A type that was not captured, or any image on an IDPass launched without retention, returns 404.
An IDPass belongs to an ID check, entity-bound or adhoc. Its images are retained only when the launch asked for them, and are read from the record already held.
The certificate PDF is a separate download from the PDF endpoint.
Each IDPass launch is charged to your WatchEye account when it is created. The product billed depends on how many document verification steps are configured, from one to three. If the link is never used and expires, the launch charge is refunded. Rates are set for your account and communicated by your Global Data account manager.
Show an IDPass lists the image types available. Download an IDPass certificate as PDF returns the certificate. Launch an IDPass against an entity and Launch an adhoc IDPass set whether images are retained.
Sandbox accounts are provisioned by your Global Data account manager. API keys are created and managed in the WatchEye portal, and the same endpoints serve sandbox and live; the account behind the key decides which environment you are in.
