API Platform & Developer Portal
12 API levels — from identity verification to continuous monitoring — enabling developers to integrate IDFlow into any platform or system.
Overview
What is it?
The IDFlow API Platform provides 12 levels of API — from basic identity verification to continuous fraud monitoring. Developers can integrate IDFlow into any platform — banking apps, e-commerce sites, hospital systems, government portals, and more.
What does it do?
Businesses and developers register for API access, receive API keys, and integrate IDFlow verification, consent, and trust features into their own systems. Test live in the developer portal, then deploy to production.
Why was it created?
Every business needs identity verification, but building it from scratch is expensive and complex. IDFlow was created to provide a single, trusted API platform that any developer can integrate — making trust accessible everywhere.
Who is it designed for?
Developers, IT teams, fintech companies, system integrators, and any business that needs to verify identity or manage consent.
Current Industry Problems
Building identity verification from scratch is expensive and complex
Each business builds its own KYC, consent, and verification systems — wasteful duplication
No standard, trusted API for identity verification and consent
Integration with existing systems (SAP, Oracle, Salesforce) is difficult
API documentation is often poor or non-existent
No sandbox environment for testing before deploying
Per-transaction pricing is opaque and unpredictable
No unified platform covering identity, consent, banking, workforce, and more
Security and compliance of custom-built systems is questionable
Scaling custom verification systems is difficult and expensive
How IDFlow Solves These Problems
12 API levels covering identity, consent, banking, workforce, and more
Single API key for all IDFlow services — one integration, endless possibilities
Developer portal with live API tester, documentation, and code examples
Sandbox environment for testing before deploying to production
Transparent, per-transaction pricing — pay only for what you use
SDKs and integration guides for popular platforms
Enterprise integrations with SAP, Oracle, Salesforce, and custom systems
Bank-grade security and compliance built in — no custom development needed
Scalable infrastructure — from 100 to millions of requests per month
API marketplace for third-party developers to build on IDFlow
How It Works
Developer registers on the Developer Portal — identity verified
Select tier: Free (100 requests/month), Business (10,000), or Enterprise (unlimited)
Receive API key — ready to integrate
Read documentation — 12 API levels explained with code examples
Test APIs live in the sandbox — no production charges
Integrate IDFlow into your system — one API call for identity verification
Deploy to production — per-transaction pricing applies
Monitor usage, analytics, and billing in the developer portal

Real-World Example
A fintech startup wants to verify customer identity during account opening.
Developer registers on the Developer Portal — identity verified
Selects Free tier — receives API key
Reads Identity API™ documentation — code examples provided
Tests the API live in the sandbox — enters a test IDFlow Number™
API returns: verified = true, trust_score = 92, status = active
Developer integrates the API call into the account opening flow
Deploys to production — each verification costs R1-R5
Customers are now verified instantly during account opening — no document upload
Developer monitors usage and billing in the portal
