API reference

AI Tools

The following provides information about API endpoints, response and error codes.

Endpoints

You can create two types of requests using the API:

Endpoint	Description
POST https://api.yoti.com/ai/v1/age-verify	Use Yoti's Age estimation verify service.
POST https://api.yoti.com/ai/v1/age-antispoofing-verify	Use Yoti's Age estimation verify service and the Anti-spoofing check.

Request

The JSON object body for the API request has the following structure:

JSON
    
 
{    "img": "base64_image",    "threshold": "age_threshold",    "operator": "OVER" | "UNDER",    "metadata": (Optional) {                "device": "mobile", "laptop", "unknown"    },}
Copy

Example request

A typical API request would have the following JSON body:

JSON
    
 
{    "img": "/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAgAAAQABAAD/2wAcHNXCKigjEaYH51Me1Zy1Za0P/Z....",    "threshold": 25,    "operator": "OVER",    "metadata": {                "device": "mobile"    }}
Copy

When using the Age only endpoint, it is possible to lower the threshold for face detection and image validation. A reason for this might be that images are not being captured live through Yoti's Face Capture module, or you may want to estimate age for images without needing to perform a liveness check.

JSON
    
 
{    "img": "/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAgAAAQABAAD/2wAcHNXCKigjEaYH51Me1Zy1Za0P/Z....",    "img_validation_level": "low"}
Copy

Note: This may only be used with the age endpoint.

Response

The JSON object body returned from the API has the following structure:

JSON
    
 
{    "age": {        "age_check": "pass | fail" (string)         },    "antispoofing": {        "prediction": "real | fake"     }}
Copy

Response	Explained
Prediction - real	Yoti has detected a real user.
Prediction - fake	Yoti has detected a spoof attempt.
Age - pass	The estimation age of the user has passed the age threshold.
Age - fail	The estimation age of the user has failed the age threshold.

Example response

The response received from the API will be below, depending on the endpoint used.

/age-verify
    
 
{    "age_check": "pass"}
Copy

/age-antispoofing-verify
    
 
{    "age": {        "age_check": "pass"    },    "antispoofing": {        "prediction": "real"    }}
