With the Data API, members can:

• Develop an automated up-to-date stream of information about the users and the users’ assets that the member trusts, via REST API, to make sure data is kept fresh and accurate at all times within the Identiq Network.
• Update with new users and updates to existing users
• Contribute risk indicators that their fraud team has identified, such as fraudulent accounts, blocked or suspended accounts, fraud chargebacks etc. Ensuring that the most up-to-date information is present improves the results of the network, maintains or improves members’ vouching rank, and means members are more likely to be able to contribute when other members send queries to the network.
• Help ensure compliance with the GDPR, by making sure that they can completely remove knowledge of a user.

Data API allows members to integrate their latest information into their Identiq Edge server data stream, and update users and users’ asset information within their server.

The API enables our members to control their preferred frequency of updates. It is particularly important to update the Identiq Edge Server as soon as possible when any fraud indicators on user or user assets are identified.

Each request must include at least one update event and up to 1,000 events.

Data API structure and format

Update events should arrive in a unified structure and format, for the following contexts:

• Accounts information
• Transactions information

  Each of the above events must include the User Account unique identifier.
