Signicat Data Verification API (1.0.0)

Download OpenAPI specification:Download

Signicat: support@signicat.com URL: https://developer.signicat.com/docs/support/

Introduction

The Data Verification API returns normalised data from carefully-selected data sources through a single point of integration, making it easy for you to interpret and use the responses regardless of the source.

The Data Verification API is a RESTful API that uses the OAuth 2.0 protocol for authorisation. All request and response bodies are formatted in JSON.

This API reference provides information on available endpoints and how to interact with them. To learn more about the use cases and the data sources available with Data Verification, visit the conceptual documentation.

Get started

Initial preparations

Before you can use the API, you must complete the following initial preparations:

Sign up to the Signicat Dashboard.
In the Signicat Dashboard, set up an organisation and an account. It is also possible to add a domain, but this is not necessary for this API.

You can learn more about configuring your account in our Initial setup instructions.

Get API client credentials

To connect to the Data Verification API, you need to create an API client and a client secret with the correct permissions in the Signicat Dashboard. To authenticate to the API, you need to complete the following steps:

Go to the Signicat Dashboard > API clients.
Add an API client, as described in the set up an API client guide. Follow the steps to obtain a Client ID and a Client Secret.
Configure the required permissions for you API client. Enable both the Data Verification for natural persons and the Data Verification for organisations permissions.

You are now all set to use the Data Verification API!

You can learn more about setting up a connection with the API in our Quick start guide.

Learn more about how to authenticate and send your first request to the API in the Obtaining an access token documentation.

Authorization

This endpoint returns which people are allowed to sign and act on behalf of an organization.
If multiple people have to sign together, those people will be mentioned together in a so-called “combination”. If multiple combinations exist, they will all be calculated by the API and returned. The API will report if it was able to calculate all combinations, only a part of the possible combinations, or no combinations. The API will also return a list of the individual people with signing rights and their respective roles.

path Parameters
