  1. API Reference

Documents

Documents provide evidence to verify and validate business information and are integral to the business verification process.

Overview#

Documents are associated with specific submissions.
Each document requires a specified type (e.g., 'mx_acta_constitutiva'), which corresponds to the required documentation for the business's country.
Upon upload, documents undergo automatic validation checks.
Data is extracted from documents based on their type.
Documents have a status (pending, valid, or invalid) reflecting their state in the verification process.
For invalid documents, error types and messages are provided to guide corrective action.

Document Management#

Our API offers endpoints to:
1.
Upload documents for a submission
2.
Retrieve extracted information from a document
3.
Delete a document
These operations allow you to manage documents throughout the KYB process, ensuring all required documentation is submitted and validated.
INFO
For information on creating submissions and initiating the verification process, please refer to the Submissions section of the API documentation.
