initialize

POST /api/v1/zoloz/realid/initialize

The ZOLOZ Real ID initialize API is used to initialize the identity proofing process in ZOLOZ. A unique transaction ID is generated for the identity proofing process and used in all the subsequent interactions with the ZOLOZ server. This API is not idempotent.

Structure

Request parameters

Field name

Data type

Max length

Description

bizId

String

32

Required. A unique business ID for tracing purpose. For example,the sequence ID from the merchant's business-related database.

Note: The ZOLOZ server does not perform uniqueness check on the value of this field. For better tracking, it is strongly recommended to enable the merchant server to guarantee the uniqueness of the business ID.

metaInfo

String

512

Required. The meta information about the SDK and the user's device.

When App SDK mode is used, its value comes from the ZOLOZ SDK in the JSON string format, for example:

"{\"apdidToken\":\"69b74bfe-bf7f-4d3b-ac59-907ee09e7955\",\"appName\":\"com.zoloz.atomic.client\",\"appVersion\":\"1.0.9\",\"bioMetaInfo\":\"3.46.0:2916352,0\",\"deviceModel\":\"MI 6\",\"deviceType\":\"android\",\"osVersion\":\"9\",\"zimVer\":\"1.0.0\"}".

Note: Do not modify the returned value as it only needs to be passed through directly.

When H5 mode is used, simply set the value as MOB_H5.  

flowType

String

32

Required. Specifies the type of the identity proofing flow. The following values are supported:

REALIDLITE_KYC : specify this value when the App SDK mode is used. 

H5_REALIDLITE_KYC : specify this value when the H5 mode is used. 

docType

String

16

Required. Type of the document, for example, if the document to be uploaded is a passport, set the value of this attribute to 00000001003. The value of this field must not be null or an empty string. For the document types that are supported by Real ID, see Document types supported and OCR results returned

userId

String

64

Required. Merchant user ID, or other identifiers that can be used to identify a specific user, for example, mobile phone number, email address and so on.  It is strongly recommended to pre-desensitize the value of the userId field, for example, by hashing the value. 

sceneCode

String

64

Optional. Specifies the business scene for data analysis purpose. If you want to distinguish the data performance of different scenes, it is recommended to set the sceneCode field to different values according to your business purpose, for example, registration, withdraw, topUp, transfer, changePassword.

serviceLevel

String

32

Optional. Specifies the service level for spoofing check and face liveness detection. The following values are supported:

  • REALID0001 : If this value is set, the ZOLOZ SDK asks users to take the photos of the identity document manually. The ZOLOZ server performs basic spoofing check, and basic liveness check with the blink detection method used.
  • REALID0002 : If this value is set, the ZOLOZ SDK automatically scans the identity document. The ZOLOZ server performs advanced spoofing check, and basic liveness check with the blink detection method used.

operationMode

String

32

Optional. Specifies the operation mode where the identity proofing process runs. The following values are supported:

  • CLOSED: All the algorithms and risk control rules are not applied. You can use this operation mode in the test phase so that the algorithms and risk controls rules do not affect the test process.
  • STANDARD: A standard recommended level is applied. 
  • LOOSE: A relatively looser level is applied. You can use this operation mode in low-risk scenarios.
  • STRICT: A relatively stricter level is applied. You can use this operation mode in high-risk scenarios.

pages

String

32

Optional. Specify the document page numbers to scan and upload, delimitered by comma. Eg: "1" (scan first page), "1,2" (scan first and second page)

pageConfig

Object

Optional. Specifies the configuration settings for the embedded H5 page. For more information, see pageConfig

h5ModeConfig

Object

Optional. Specifies the configuration settings for H5 Real ID flow. Set this field when H5 mode is specified with the flowType filed as H5_REALIDLITE_KYC. For more information,see h5ModeConfig

productConfig

Object

Optional. Specify finer control on the Real ID product. For more information, see productConfig.

Response parameters

Field name

Data type

Description

result

Result

Required. The API request result, which contains information about the result of the API request, such as status and error codes. 

transactionId

String

Optional. A unique transaction ID that is generated by the ZOLOZ server for the identity proofing process. This ID will be used as an input parameter for the Real ID checkresult API request.

Note: when an error occurs during the process at the client side, for example, invalid argument, no transaction ID is returned.

clientCfg

String

Optional. The client configuration information, including parameters about SDK connection and behavior. The value of this field is specified only when the result.resultStatus field is "S". 

Result

Result process logic

For different request results, different actions are to be performed. See the following for details:

  • If the value of the result.resultStatus is S , the ZOLOZ Real ID initialize API is invoked successfully and a unique transaction ID is returned.
  • If the value of the result.resultStatus is F , the invocation of the ZOLOZ Real ID initialize API fails. Check the error code and message for more information about the possible reasons. Error codes

Common error codes

For the full list of common error codes, see the Common error codes section in the Error handling topic.

The following table shows the possible error codes that are specific for the Real ID initialize API.
