API Terms of Use

Before you start using the API, we have a few guidelines that we'd like to tell you about. We encourage you to read the full API Terms of Use, but here are the bullet points:

  • ID.me users own their data.
  • ID.me is a user-centric, permissions based platform that requires explicit permission for each transmission of information from a user to a partner brand through ID.me.
  • You may not sell ID.me user data to third party sites.
  • You cannot replicate the core user experience of ID.me

Endpoints
Choose API Version:
V3 V2

Protected REST endpoints can be access by making HTTP requests with the access token for a given user. The ID.me server will validate the access token to ensure it has not expired and that its scope covers the requested resource.


After receiving a successful verification response from the API, you should apply business logic to unlock the benefit you are offering to the end user. From a user experience perspective, it is recommended that you store the verified status in the user's session to keep the experience consistent in case the page is refreshed, the back button is pressed, etc. By hiding or disabling the button that inititiates the API call, you can prevent duplicate calls being made.


If you're writing an AJAX application, require a JSONP response, and would like to wrap our response with a callback, all you have to do is specify a callback parameter with the API call.
