Authentication REST API

This guide details how to integrate with Swedish BankID using Signicat Authentication REST API as an authentication protocol.

The currently supported mechanisms for Swedish BankID are:

  • QR code: Launches the QR code flow on a remote device.
  • App launch: Launches the BankID app locally on the same device.
  • MRTD check: Adds an extra security check to a normal authentication flow.
  • Phone flow: Allows authentication via a telephone call.

The guides below provide all the steps to set up your connection using either the redirect or headless flows. The above mentioned mechanisms are set up in the same way for redirect and headless, except for some minor differences in field values, as described in the following sub-sections.
