What is didx:verify?

didx:verify is an identity verification and compliance API platform. It lets organisations verify the identity of individuals in real time using South African government data sources, biometric matching, and fraud prevention systems.

​
Two projects

didx:verify is delivered as two projects. Each has its own base URL and its own authentication server. Reach for Marketplace when your backend makes a verification call and reads the answer. Reach for Journey when you want the platform to run a multi-step flow for a subject and notify you when it completes. See Authentication for the token server each project uses.

​

Authentication

Each project authenticates against its own OAuth2 server: Marketplace uses the sc-citizen scope, Journey uses vc-verify. See Authentication for details.
