Quick Start

AI Tools

We suggest you read through the step by step integration guide to understand the integration in detail. Please see below for example code snippets, examples projects and a demo.

Before you start

You will need to access your Yoti Hub account with an e-mail & password or using the Yoti mobile app and to have registered your business with Yoti. Click below for more info.

Onboarding with Yoti Generate API Keys

Please ensure you have a verified organisation and generate Age estimation keys.

Face capture example

Example code

Good to know

We strongly recommend you use the Face capture module.

Age Estimation v2

This is our current API with the latest features. If starting a new integration, please use this API.

To use it, first you need to install the SDK:

npm install -S -E yoti

// If you are using Maven, add the following dependency: <dependency> <groupId>com.yoti</groupId> <artifactId>yoti-sdk-api</artifactId> <version>3.0.0</version> </dependency> // If you are using Gradle, add the following dependency: compile group: 'com.yoti', name: 'yoti-sdk-api', version: '3.0.0'

// Get the Yoti PHP SDK library via a Composer package composer require yoti/yoti-php-sdk

pip install yoti

// To install the Yoti NuGet package you will need to install NuGet. // To import the latest Yoti SDK into your project, enter the following // command from NuGet Package Manager Console in Visual Studio: Install-Package Yoti // For other installation methods, see https://www.nuget.org/packages/Yoti

// As of version 2.4.0, modules are used. This means it's not necessary to get a copy or fetch all dependencies // as instructed below, as the Go toolchain will fetch them as necessary. // You can simply add a `require github.com/getyoti/yoti-go-sdk/v2` to go.mod. // To download and install the Yoti SDK and its dependencies, run the following command from your terminal: go get "github.com/getyoti/yoti-go-sdk/v3"

gem install yoti # The gem provides a configuration generator for Ruby on Rails: rails generate yoti:install

There are three endpoints which can be used with this API:

Endpoint	Description
https://api.yoti.com/ai/v1/age	Use Yoti's age estimation service.
https://api.yoti.com/ai/v1/age-antispoofing	Use Yoti's age estimation service and the Anti-spoofing check.
https://api.yoti.com/ai/v1/antispoofing	Use Yoti's anti-spoofing check as a standalone product.

Age Estimation v1 (legacy)

This is our older API, that is relevant for legacy integrations.

First you need to install the SDK:

npm install -S -E yoti

// Get the Yoti PHP SDK library via a Composer package composer require yoti/yoti-php-sdk

pip install yoti

gem install yoti # The gem provides a configuration generator for Ruby on Rails: rails generate yoti:install

There is one endpoint which can be used with this API:

Endpoint	Description

const { RequestBuilder, Payload } = require('yoti'); const request = new RequestBuilder() .withBaseUrl('https://api.yoti.com/api/v1/age-verification') .withPemFilePath('<YOTI_KEY_FILE_PATH>') .withEndpoint('/checks') .withPayload(new Payload(data)) .withMethod('POST') .withHeader('X-Yoti-Auth-Id', '<YOTI_CLIENT_SDK_ID>') .build(); //get Yoti response const response = request.execute();

JsonObject body = new JsonObject(); body.put("data", imageBytes); byte[] payload = body.encode().getBytes(); try { SignedRequest signedRequest = new SignedRequestBuilder() .withKeyPair(<YOTI_KEY_FILE_PATH>) .withBaseUrl("https://api.yoti.com/api/v1/age-verification") .withEndpoint("/checks") .withPayload(payload) .withHttpMethod("POST") .withHeader("X-Yoti-Auth-Id", "<YOTI_CLIENT_SDK_ID>") .build(); YourPojo yourPojo = signedRequest.execute(YourPojo.class); } catch (GeneralSecurityException | URISyntaxException | IOException | ResourceException ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); }
