Introduction
Shufti Pro has designed this Verification API document for its customers that have signed up for our next-generation service pack. This document will explain various kinds of verification services included in this service pack, how they are provided and what kind of data is required from our clients to perform these verifications successfully.
Authorization
Shufti Pro provides authorisation to clients through the Basic Auth header. Your Client ID will serve as your Username while the Secret Key will serve as your Password. The API will require this header for every request.
| Fields | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| username | Yes | Enter Client ID as username. |
| password | Yes | Enter your Secret Key as password. |
On-site Verification with OCR
Every verification request received from the end-user or Shufti Pro customer is assessed on certain parameters (discussed in detail below) by Shufti Pro’s intelligent system. These parameters allow Shufti Pro to:
- Identify its customers.
- Check the authenticity of the client’s credentials.
- Read the client’s data.
- Decide what information is being sent to perform a certain verification.
Request Parameters
Herein it is essential to note that each service module is independent of the other and each one of them will be activated according to the nature of the request received from Shufti Pro’s client. Document and address verification services are provided via OCR. They can be used in combination with non-OCR services including face, consent and phone verification as well as AML background checks.
Each verification service is optional. Shufti Pro can provide clients with a single service or multiple services depending on their requirements. Every key is optional as well. For instance, if a key is given for document or address service and no value is provided, OCR will be performed for each of those keys.

On-site verification means that Shufti Pro will be interacting directly with end-user and will be responsible for data collection in order to perform Identity verification. Shufti Pro customer will only be notified about the verification status via Shufti Pro Back Office.
Shufti Pro collects the image or video proofs from end-users. In the verification request, Shufti Pro customer specifies the keys for the parameters to be verified. Shufti Pro extracts the required information from the provided document and then the verification form is automatically filled with the extracted information. This reduces the manual work for the end-user. Next, Shufti Pro’s intelligently driven system verifies the provided documents for authenticity. Please consult This Document for Onsite with OCR verifications.
OCR is offered on the following services: (Document and Address) but Shufti Pro customers can also avail other non-OCR services such as Face & Phone Verification along with these OCR services.
Shufti Pro offers following services in On-site verification: (Face, Document, Address, Consent, Phone and Background Checks)
| Parameters | Description |
|---|---|
| reference | Required: Yes Type: string Minimum: 6 characters Maximum: 250 characters Each request is issued a unique reference ID which is sent back to Shufti Pro’s client with each response. This reference ID helps to verify the request. Only alphanumeric values can be used. The client can use this ID to check the status of already performed verifications. |
| country | Required: No Type: string Length: 2 characters You may omit this parameter if you don't want to enforce country verification. If a valid country code is provided, then the proofs for document verification or address verification must be from the same country. Country code must be a valid ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code. Please consult Supported Countries for country codes. |
| language | Required: No Type: string Length: 2 characters If the Shufti Pro client wants their preferred language to appear on the verification screens they may provide the 2-character long language code of their preferred language. The list of Supported Languages can be consulted for the language codes. If this key is missing in the request the system will select the default language as English. |
| Required: No Type: string Minimum: 6 characters Maximum: 128 characters This field represents email of the end-user. |
|
| callback_url | Required: Yes Type: string Minimum: 6 characters Maximum: 250 characters A number of server-to-server calls are made to Shufti Pro’s client to keep them updated about the verification status. This allows the clients to keep the request updated on their end, even if the end-user is lost midway through the process. |
| redirect_url | Required: No Type: string Minimum: 6 characters Maximum: 250 characters Once an on-site verification is complete, User is redirected to this link after showing the results. |
| verification_mode | Required: No Type: string Accepted Values: any, image_only, video_only This key specifies the types of proof that can be used for verification. In a “video_only” mode, Shufti Pro’s client can only send “Base64” of videos wherein formats of proofs should be MP4 or MOV. “any” mode can be used to send a combination of images and videos as proofs for verification. |
| allow_offline | Required: No Type: string Accepted Values: 0, 1 Default Value: 1 This parameter allows users to upload images or videos in case of non-availability of a functional webcam.If value: 0, users can capture photos/videos with the camera only. |

Verification Services
Shufti Pro is performing variety of verifications for its customers. Our diverse services suite allows us to validate the identity of users through facial verification, documents verification and address verification. We can also check the authenticity of customised documents like official IDs and perform background checks for AML compliance. A mix of various service modules can also be acquired to perform multifaceted verifications like facial and document verification can help you perform a thorough KYC procedure.
Face Service
Face service sample object
{
"face" : {
"proof" : "",
"allow_offline" : "1",
"allow_online" : "1"
}
}
The face verifications of end-users are the simplest to perform. End-user will have to show their face in front of a webcam or phone camera for verification
| Parameters | Description |
|---|---|
| proof | Required: No Type: string Image Format: JPG, JPEG, PNG, PDF Maximum: 16MB Video Format: MP4/MOV Maximum: 20MB Provide valid BASE64 encoded string. Leave empty for an on-site verification. |

Shufti Pro provides document verification through various types of documents. The supported formats are passports, ID Cards, driving licenses and debit/credit cards. You can opt for more than 1 document type as well. In that case, Shufti Pro will give an option to end-users to verify their data from any of the given document types.
You can provide more than 1 document image and use “additional proof” parameter for this. This is to ensure that the required credentials are easily visible e.g. a document might have name and image of individual at the front but the date of birth of that person is printed at the back of the document or on another page of the passport. If you opt for both facial and document verification, face of individual from document will be used to validate uploaded selfie.

Document Two Service is provided to verify the personal details of a user from more than 1 document e.g. If you have verified the DOB & Name of a user from their ID Card, you can use Document Two Service to verify the Credit Card Number of your customer.
Just like the “Document Service”, the supported formats for this service are also passports, ID Cards, driving licenses and debit/credit cards and more than one document type can be selected as well. In that case, Shufti Pro will give an option to end-users to verify their data from any of the given document types.
The end-user can be asked to provide more than 1 document image. For this, you can use the “additional proof” parameter. If you opt for both facial and document verification, the face of an individual from the document will be used to validate uploaded selfie.
It goes without saying that provided document proofs should belong to the same person in order to verify the identity of the user.

Appendix
Enhanced Data Extraction
Shufti Pro provides its customers with the facility of extracting enhanced data features using OCR technology. Now, instead of extracting just personal information input fields, Shufti Pro can fetch all the additional information comprising more than 100 data points from the official ID documents supporting 150 languages. For example height, place_of_birth, nationality, marital_status, weight, etc. Shufti Pro is the first digital identity verification service that can fetch a huge bunch of information efficiently in mere seconds.(additional charges apply)
This feature can be used with document and document_two services.

Response Signature
Every HTTP and Callback responses will be in application/json with a key Signature in the header. It can be used to validate the source of the request. Make a signature using the following procedure:
- Concatinate Secret Key at the end of the raw response string. (i.e. response + secret_key).
- Take SHA256 of concatinated string.
- Match the SHA256 string with Signature value from the header of the response.
In short, make signature as hash('sha256', response . your_secret_key) and match it with the signature provided in the header in Signature key.
HTTP Status Codes and Events
Instant Capture & Verification API uses conventional HTTP response codes to indicate the success or failure of an API request. Every response is generated in JSON with a specific HTTP code. Go to Status Codes for a complete list of status codes. Events are sent in responses which show the status of request. These events are sent in both HTTP and callback responses. Please consult Events for a complete list of events.
