The SheerID suite of APIs provide your applications with the ability to verify the group status of your customers. Whether you're offering discounts for active veterans or current students, our system lets you tailor your customers' experiences to your liking.
To use the developer sandbox or the full API, you need to sign up for an account.
Once you have done this, log in to the Control Center and create an API key for use in testing. NOTE: you are best off using one API key for testing and one API key for production. You may create any number of API keys without charge, so please make use of the create and disable functions as needed.

Common tasks and how to structure them against our API.
Exhaustive descriptions for each API resource, including the requirements and optional parameters of each.
