GetID WEB SDK

Overview

This SDK provides a configurable widget which will allow your users to capture their personal data and/or face/id documents photos in order to verify their identity.

For the documentation of previous versions please refer to old readme

In order to make it work you will need access to GetID api. Please get in touch with our integration team.

Obtaining an API key

In order to start using GetID SDK, you will need an SDK KEY and API URL. Before you start please go to the admin panel and create a flow. You should define the FLOW_NAME into configuration

Both can be found and modified either through your GetID admin panel or via contacting our integration support.

Installation

Including the library

CDN

Include sdk link as regular script tag. The latest stable build can be found in example snippet below.

<script src='https://cdn.getid.cloud/sdk/getid-web-sdk-launcher-v6.min.js'></script>

Script loads the widget via window object along with sdk config and jwt token.

window.getidWebSdk.init(config);

NPM launcher

npm i getid-launcher

Create element in DOM where SDK should be included:

<div id='getid-component'>

Import init function from launcher package and init the sdk

import { init } from 'getid-launcher';
const config = {
    flowName: 'YOUR_FLOW_NAME',
    apiUrl: 'YOUR_API_URL',
    sdkKey: 'YOUR_SDK_KEY',
    customerId: 'customer id',
    metadata: {},
    containerId: 'getid-component',
    locale: 'en',
    profile: [{
        value: 'Jon',
        category: 'First name',
    }, {
        value: 'Dow',
        category: 'Last name',
    }],
    onComplete({ applicationId }) {
        alert(id);
    },
    onFail({ code, message }) {
        console.log(code, message);
    },
};

init(config);

You can specify the sdkKey options, or you can get the JWT token and pass it for authorization

config example for authorization via sdkKey:

const config = {
  sdkKey: 'YOUR_SDK_KEY',
  flowName: 'YOUR_FLOW_NAME',
  apiUrl: 'YOUR_API_URL',
  metadata: {},
  containerId: 'getid-component',
  locale: 'en',
  profile: [{
      value: 'Jon',
      category: 'First name',
  }, {
      value: 'Dow',
      category: 'Last name',
  }],
  onComplete({ applicationId }) {
      alert(applicationId);
  },
  onFail({ code, message }) {
      console.log(code, message);
  },
};

configuration example for authorization with JWT

const response = await fetch(`${apiUrl}/sdk/v2/token`, {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'x-sdk-key': sdkKey,
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({ customerId }),
})
const jwt = (await response.json())['token']

const config = {
  jwt,
  flowName: 'YOUR_FLOW_NAME',
  apiUrl: 'YOUR_API_URL',
  metadata: {},
  containerId: 'getid-component',
  locale: 'en',
  profile: [{
      value: 'Jon',
      category: 'First name',
  }, {
      value: 'Dow',
      category: 'Last name',
  }],
  onComplete({ applicationId }) {
      alert(applicationId);
  },
  onFail({ code, message }) {
      alert(code, message);
  },
};

Obtaining JWT

For security reasons, you will need to generate and include a short-lived JSON Web Token (JWT) every time you initialize the SDK. To generate JWT make a post request with sdk key in header on your designated api url:

$ curl -H "Content-Type: application/json"  -H "x-sdk-key: SDK_KEY"  -X POST API_URL/sdk/v2/token

Customer ID (optional)

In case you don't want your clients to complete verification more than once or for any other identification purposes you can pass customerId param when generating jwt token or include the customerId property directly into config if you prefer sdkKey authorization to JWT

$ curl -d '{"customerId":"value"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json"  -H "x-sdk-key: SDK_KEY"  -X POST API_URL/sdk/v2/token

NB! Token expires 60 minutes after creation. (length of a token's life is a matter of configuration).

HTML markup

Please place an empty div element with a respective id in your html for the component to mount into.

<div id='getid-component'></div>

It is possible to configure sdk flow in admin panel.

Initialization

Now all has been set for sdk initialization.

const config = {
  apiUrl: 'YOUR_URL',
  sdkKey: 'YOUR_SDK_KEY',
  containerId: 'getid-component',
  flowName: 'YOUR_FLOW_NAME'
}; 
window.getidWebSdk.init(config);

This a simple example on how config should look like. Please go through README to learn how to customize the widget even further.

Metadata

ExternalID

You can specify externalId into metadata to match id from your DB and application

metadata: {
  externalId: 'ID_FROM_YOUR_DB',
},

Labels

It is possible to specify custom key/value storage into metadata labels - object with max 30 properties

it's will be added into application result.

metadata example:

const config = {
  apiUrl: 'YOUR_URL',
  containerId: 'getid-component',
  flowName: 'YOUR_FLOW_NAME',
  metadata: {
    externalId: 'ID_FROM_YOUR_DB',
    labels: {
      'my-custom-meta-name-1': 'custom-value-1',
      'my-custom-meta-name-2': 'custom-value-2',
    }
  }
};

Customization

Container ID

This can be anything you want, just make sure for it to match the one being specified in HTML div element.

mode

SDK has two modes:

popup
inline

const config = {
  apiUrl: 'YOUR_URL',
  containerId: 'getid-component',
  flowName: 'YOUR_FLOW_NAME',
  mode: 'popup'
};

Locale

It is possible to predefine the locale according locale format https://www.localeplanet.com/icu/

Example:

const config = {
  apiUrl: 'YOUR_URL',
  containerId: 'getid-component',
  flowName: 'YOUR_FLOW_NAME',
  locale: 'en'
};

Dictionary

Set up the custom dictionary to load the specific translation

Please see the open API documentation to set up a dictionary for server

Example using of custom dictionary for the client side:

const config = {
  apiUrl: 'YOUR_URL',
  containerId: 'getid-component',
  flowName: 'YOUR_FLOW_NAME',
  locale: 'en',
  dictionary: 'CUSTOM_DICTIONARY_NAME'
};

Profile

It's possible to pre-fill the profile form data by setting the profile property in config.

example

const config = {
  apiUrl: 'YOUR_URL',
  containerId: 'getid-component',
  flowName: 'YOUR_FLOW_NAME',
  profile: [
    { category: 'First name', value: 'Jon' },
    { category: 'Last name', value: 'Dow' },
    { category: 'Date of birth', value: '2010-10-10' },
    { category: 'Address', value: 'France le croissant 4-27' },
    { category: 'Date of expiry', value: '2026-02-15' },
    { category: 'Date of issue', value: '2021-02-15' },
    { category: 'Document number', value: '4114414141' },
    { category: 'Email', value: 'email@email.com' },
    { category: 'Gender', value: 'male' },
    { category: 'Nationality', value: 'AZE' },
    { category: 'Personal number', value: '123123123123' },
    { category: 'Any custom category', value: '123123123123' contentType: 'string'},
  ],
};

There are next custom types available for customContentType:

"string"
"country"
"date"
"boolean"

Form fields and pre-filled fields will be sent to the server and will be compared with extracted data from a document.

Profile checking is provided for those fields:

First name
Last name
Date of birth
Gender
Date of issue
Date of expiry
Nationality
Document number

It's possible to hide the form into admin panel in flow settings.

Visual Appearance

It is possible to customize the styles by two ways:

Inserting the custom css string (use injectCSS string in config)
Using CSS variables (use styles object in config)

Example of custom styles:

const config = {
  apiUrl: 'YOUR_URL',
  containerId: 'getid-component',
  flowName: 'YOUR_FLOW_NAME',
  injectCSS: 'p {color: red; text-align: center;}',
  styles: {
   '--getid-primary-text-color': 'red'
  }
}

Custom variables is a more flexible and convenient way. List of variables:

    --getid-primary-text-color
    --getid-secondary-text-color
    --getid-primary-background-color
    --getid-accent-color
    --getid-contrasting-to-accent-color
    --getid-border-color
    --getid-primary-button-text-color
    --getid-primary-button-background-color
    --getid-primary-button-hover-background-color
    --getid-secondary-button-text-color
    --getid-secondary-button-background-color
    --getid-secondary-button-hover-background-color
    --getid-link-button-text-color
    --getid-link-button-hover-text-color
    --getid-button-box-shadow-hover
    --getid-button-border-radius
    --getid-input-placeholder-color
    --getid-input-text-color
    --getid-input-background-color
    --getid-input-border-color
    --getid-input-hover-border-color
    --getid-input-active-border-color
    --getid-input-border-radius
    --getid-error-color
    --getid-success-color
    --getid-warning-color
    --getid-header-font-size
    --getid-subheader-font-size
    --getid-button-font-size
    --getid-font-size
    --getid-small-font-size
    --getid-font-weight
    --getid-bold-font-weight
    --getid-button-font-weight
    --getid-transition
    --getid-font-family
    --getid-container-max-width
    --getid-container-min-width
    --getid-container-border-radius
    --getid-container-overlay-background-color
    --getid-camera-overlay-background-color
    --getid-camera-overlay-text-color

Switch theme callback

(EXPERIMENTAL)

Set up two themes - dark and light - into the admin panel. After that, it will be possible to configure the initial theme bypassing themeMode into SDK configuration with a value dark or light

The method init returns a promise. After resolving, it's possible to add the changeThemeMode callback for the theme switching

Example:

  <div id="getid-component"></div>
  <div class="theme-switch-wrapper">
    <label class="theme-switch" for="checkbox">
      <input type="checkbox" id="checkbox" />
      <div class="slider round"></div>
    </label>
    <em>Switch theme</em>
  </div>

const config = {
  apiUrl: 'YOUR_URL',
  containerId: 'getid-component',
  flowName: 'YOUR_FLOW_NAME',
  themeMode: 'light'
};

(async function () {
  const res = await init(config);

  const switcher = document.getElementById('checkbox');
  switcher.addEventListener('change', (e) => {
    res.changeThemeMode(e.target.checked ? 'dark' : 'light');
  });
}());

HTML Properties

Set disableSwitchDevice true to disable device switching (The best way is to configure it from the admin panel in the configuration flow section)

Example:

const config = {
  apiUrl: 'YOUR_URL',
  containerId: 'getid-component',
  flowName: 'YOUR_FLOW_NAME',
  locale: 'en',
  htmlProperties: {
    disableSwitchDevice: true
  }
};

Callbacks

All callbacks are optional.

onComplete = ({ applicationId }) => a callback is executed on ThankYou view after the client has successfully submitted their data for verification. Accepts verification ID as param.
onFail = ({code, message}) => callback executed on fail event:
- Client failed to submit data successfully (server responded with anything but 200) - in such a case, the callback will be called upon by clicking CAT
- Widget failed to render successfully - in such a case, the callback will be called automatically accepts an Error object as params, so it's up to you to handle this accordingly if needed.
onVerificationComplete => (envelopedApplicationResult) => the callback is executed after verification is finished with the result of application (appId, externalId, services result). Please see the openapi scheme.

If the onVerificationComplete callback is present in the configuration, the "Thank you" page will be removed from the flow and a new screen will appear (with the service results) as the last screen. EXPERIMENTAL (the API may be changed in future)

Possible errors:

Before render
{code: "internal", message: "Internal error"} 
{code: "sdkkey_invalid", message: "Invalid SDK key"} 
{code: "apiurl_mismatch", message: "Correct API url was not provided"}
{code: "configuration_not_found", message: "Configuration not found"} 
{code: "token_malformed", message: "Incorrect link"}
{code: "token_mismatch", message: "JWT token was not provided"}

After render
{code: "schema_mismatch", message: "Please use https schema"}
{code: "api_version_mismatch", message: "Your SDK version not compatible with the current API version"}
{code: "token_invalid", message: "Invalid token. Maybe, the session is expired."}
{code: "token_expired", message: "'The link is no longer valid'"}
{code: "customerid_exists", message: "An application with this customerId already exists."}
{code: "browser_not_supported", message: "Browser is not supported"}
{code: "no_camera", message: "Your device has no camera"}
{code: "camera_not_allowed", message: "Failed to access your camera"}
{code: "camera_generic", message: "Failed to access your camera"}
{code: "file_type", message: "We do not support this format"}
{code: "verification_fail", message: "Cannot create application"}
{code: "bad_request", message: "Bad request"}
{code: "server_unavailable", message: "Server is unavailable"}

acceptableDocuments = a callback is executed for sorting/filtering the list of supported countries and document types. The callback takes as a parameter an array of objects. Every object has two properties: country - string with the name of a country in Alpha-3 code( ISO 3166 international standard) and documentTypes - an array of strings with supported document types for a certain country. After the execution the callback should return a sorted/filtered list in the same format, you shouldn't add your own countries or document types.

Examples:

acceptableDocuments(supportedDocuments) {
    return supportedDocuments.filter(({ country, documentTypes }) => {
      const desiredCountries = ['est', 'eng', 'bel', 'afg'];

      return desiredCountries.includes(country.toLowerCase());
    });
  };

The upper function will filter list and return only countries which exist in desiredCountries array with all supported document types

acceptableDocuments(supportedDocuments) {
    return supportedDocuments.map(({ country, documentTypes }) => ({
      country,
      documentTypes: documentTypes.filter((x) => x === 'id-card' || x === 'passport'),
    }));
  };

Upper function will filter only id-card and passport document types

onFatalError(error_code) => callback executed if some errors occurred during SDK init. Common error codes:
fail_to_load_translations
apiurl_mismatch
token_mismatch
browser_not_supported
no_camera

The onFatalError callback will be called with the errors: browser_not_supported, no_camera only if the property disableSwitchDevice is true. This callback wont be called after jumping to other device.

onBack () => a callback without arguments will be executed from the first screen on clicking the 'back' button event (if the callback is not set, then there is no 'back' button on the first screen).

In some cases, you may need an SDK script without polyfills, that can be downloaded from the CDN.
