vl-go

vlgo is a Go HTTP client library around the VerifID identity verification layer API. It's a complete wrapper contains all endpoints available on Verification Layer. Use of this client and API is enough to verify someone's identity.

Features

• VerifID vl REST API:
  • User
  • Image

Install

go get github.com/verifid/vl-go/vlgo

Usage

REST API

The vlgo package provides a Client for accessing the VerifID Verification Layer API. You need to follow 4 basic steps to verify a person and his identity.

Steps of user verification

1. Send user's personal data
2. Upload photos of identity card of passport
3. Upload profile photo
4. Call verify user

Here are some example requests.

import (
    "fmt"
    "net/http"
    "path"
    "time"

    "github.com/verifid/vl-go/vlgo"
)

var httpClient = &http.Client{
    Timeout: time.Second * 15,
}

// Send User Data
user := vlgo.User{
    Country:     "United States",
    DateOfBirth: "10.04.1980",
    Name:        "Tony",
    Surname:     "Stark"}

userClient := vlgo.NewUserService(httpClient)
userResponse, resp, err := userClient.User.SendUserData(user)
fmt.Println(userResponse)
fmt.Println(resp)
fmt.Println(err)

// Upload Identity Image
imageClient := vlgo.NewImageService(httpClient)

identityImagePath := path.Dir("/resources/2.png")
base64Str := imageClient.Image.ImageFileToBase64(identityImagePath)
imageUpload := vlgo.ImageUpload{Image: base64Str, UserID: "userId"}

uploadResponse, resp, err := imageClient.Image.UploadIdentity(imageUpload)
fmt.Println(uploadResponse)
fmt.Println(resp)
fmt.Println(err)

profileImagePath := path.Dir("/resources/2.png")
base64Str = imageClient.Image.ImageFileToBase64(profileImagePath)
imageUpload = vlgo.ImageUpload{Image: base64Str, UserID: "userId"}

// Upload Profile Image
uploadResponse, resp, err = imageClient.Image.UploadProfile(imageUpload)
fmt.Println(uploadResponse)
fmt.Println(resp)
fmt.Println(err)

// Verify User
verifyUser := vlgo.VerifyUser{
UserID:   "userId",
Language: "en_core_web_sm"}
userVerificationResponse, httResponse, err := userClient.User.VerifyUser(verifyUser)
fmt.Println(userVerificationResponse)
fmt.Println(httResponse)
fmt.Println(err)
