Introduction
Shufti Pro offers multiple API methods to help you build business processes powered by the Shufti Pro API. While Shufti Pro API is organized around REST, it accepts form-encoded request bodies, returns JSON-encoded responses and uses standard HTTP response codes and authentication. Our API can help automate your business processes through by providing the following services:
- KYC Identity Verification
- Video KYC Identity Verification
- Biometric Verification
- Phone (2FA)
- AML Background Checks
- KYB (Know Your Business)
- OCR For Business
Getting Started
Before getting started, make sure you have the following:
Shufti Pro Account. This is your individual user account to access the Shufti Pro’s REST API and back-office. To set up your Shufti Pro account, click here.
API Keys. Shufti Pro API uses API keys to authenticate requests. You can view your API keys in the settings of your back-office. To get your API keys, click here.
Authorization
Shufti Pro API uses API keys to authenticate requests. You can view and manage your API keys in your Shufti Pro Backoffice. Authorization to API is performed via HTTP Basic Auth & Access Token. The verification request will fail without authorization.

Shufti Pro provides Bearer Access Token Authorization method. Client can generate temporary access token using new access token endpoint. The shared token will be used to authorize API requests. The token shared with the client will be valid for 10 minutes and can be used once only.
| Field | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Authorization | Yes | Enter your authorization token. |
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. 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: No 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. |

It is a verification process that will require you to send us the full Name of end-user in addition to date of birth. Shufti Pro will perform AML based background checks based on this information. Please note that the name and dob keys will be extracted from document service if these keys are empty.
| Parameters | Description |
|---|---|
| dob | Required: No Type: string Format: yyyy-mm-dd Provide a valid date. Example 1990-12-31 Note: It is recommended to send dob for more accurate results. |
| name | Required: No Type: object In name object used in background checks service, first_name required and other fields are optional. Parameters for name are listed here: Example 1 { "first_name" : "John", "last_name" : "Doe"} Example 2 { "first_name" : "John", "middle_name" : "Carter", "last_name" : "Doe"} Example 3 { "full_name" : "John Carter Doe"} Note: If full name is provided with first and last name priority will be given to full name. |
| ongoing | Required: No Accepted values: 0, 1 Default: 0 This Parameter is used for Ongoing AML Screening, and is allowed only on Production Accounts. If Shufti Pro detects a change in AML statuses, then we will send you a webhook with event verification.status.changed. The new AML status can be checked using get status endpoint, or from the back-office. Use fuzzy_match = 1 in the name object for better results for Ongoing AML Screening. |

Technical 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.
{
"fetch_enhanced_data" :"1"
}
| Parameters | Description |
|---|---|
| fetch_enhanced_data | Required: No Type: string Value Accepted: 1 Provide 1 for enabling enhanced data extraction for the document. Extracted data will be returned in object under the key additional_data in case of verification.accepted or verification.declined. For Details on additional_data object go to Additional Data |

name is an object and contains the following parameters
Name sample object
{
"name" : {
"first_name" : "",
"middle_name" : "",
"last_name" : "",
"fuzzy_match" : "1"
}
}
{
"name" : {
"full_name" : "",
"fuzzy_match" : "1"
}
}
| Parameters | Description |
|---|---|
| first_name | Required: No Type: string Minimum: 1 character Maximum: 32 chracters Allowed Characters are alphabets, - (dash), comma, space, dot and single quotation mark. Example John'O Harra |
| middle_name | Required: No Type: string Minimum: 1 character Maximum: 32 chracters Allowed Characters are alphabets, - (dash), comma, space, dot and single quotation mark. Example Carter-Joe |
| last_name | Required: No Type: string Minimum: 1 character Maximum: 32 chracters Allowed Characters are alphabets, - (dash), comma, space, dot and single quotation mark. Example John, Huricane Jr. |
| fuzzy_match | Required: No Type: string Value Accepted: 1 Provide 1 for enabling a fuzzy match of the name. Enabling fuzzy matching attempts to find a match which is not a 100% accurate. |
| full_name | Required: No Type: string Minimum: 1 character Maximum: 64 characters Some countries don't have the identity document holder name as their first, middle or last name instead its written in full. In such cases, you may provide the full name. |
Age
Shufti Pro provides its clients with an option to configure the Age verification from within the API request. This service allows the acceptance of users within the specified age limits according to their DOB. The client can specify lower and upper limit and according to that, the users age will be verified. In case, minimum and maximum values are not set, Shufti Pro will calculate and return Age according to the DOB. If DOB is not present on the document, the verification will decline as Age will not be verified
Age is an object or integer that can be used to set the lower and upper limit for Age of the user according to DOB. It contains the following parameters.Min is used to specify the lower limit whereas Max is used to specify the upper limit.
Age sample object
{
"age" : 18
}
{
"age" : {
"min" : "17",
"max" : "165"
}
}
| Parameters | Description |
|---|---|
| age | Required: No Type: integer/array Allowed values are integers or array. Example 18 |
| min | Required: No Type: integer Minimum Value: 1 Allowed values are integers or array. Example 17 |
| max | Required: No Type: integer Maximum Value: 170 Allowed values are integers or array. Example 165 |
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.
