Management API services

Last updated: April 29, 2024

The management API services enable you to:

  • Perform basic create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations on existing users.

  • Check the health of your API and service providers.

  • Manage tokens.

iProov API specification

See the iProov Open API specification.

Authentication

The API authentication mechanism is OAuth 2.0. A new Bearer Token can be generated using your service provider credentials.

Endpoint POST {api_key}/access_token
Request Body Content-Type application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Authentication

You must provide your:

  • api_key as the URL parameter.

  • OAuth username and password as a Basic Authentication header. Both were generated when your service provider was created.
Note

  • Provide the OAuth username and password via the Authorization header in Basic format. These credentials are different to the service provider API key and secret, which you supply separately.

  • Each generated access_token is valid for one hour, or 50 requests, whichever is first.

  • Refresh each access_token after it expires.
