Verify A Generic ID Card

Developing
POST
/api/v1/public/documentverification/id-card
Reads any other identity card image and checks that the ID number and name you supplied match what appears on it. Use this for card types with no dedicated endpoint. Extraction is AI-assisted while the match score is computed locally, so identical inputs always score identically. Results are cached for 24 hours by document type and payload. The wallet is debited on every call including cache hits, at your configured document verification fee less a 30% discount when your company supplies its own OpenAI or Azure OpenAI key. Note this endpoint returns the responseCode/responseMessage/responseData envelope, not the status/message/data one.
