Start building with the Middesk API
Quickstart
Make your first API call in 5 minutes. Set up authentication, verify an identity, and review the results.
Core concepts
Learn about verification types, risk signals, data models, and how the API processes identity data.
Use cases
Verify a business (KYB)
Verify user identities during signup to meet Know Your Customer requirements. Check government IDs, validate personal information, and screen against watchlists.
Improve onboarding conversion
Assess risk in real time for payments, transfers, and sensitive operations. Detect suspicious patterns and flag high-risk transactions before they complete.
Monitor business activity
Verify user identity when customers request password resets or account changes. Prevent account takeover while maintaining a smooth user experience.
Manage business entities
Confirm that users meet age requirements for restricted content or products. Validate dates of birth from government-issued documents with minimal friction.
