Smile Identity Ruby Server Side SDK

Smile Identity provides the best solutions for real time Digital KYC, identity verification, user onboarding, and user authentication across Africa. Our server side libraries make it easy to integrate us on the server-side. Since the library is server-side, you will be required to pass the images (if required) to the library.

If you haven’t already, sign up for a free Smile Identity account, which comes with Sandbox access.

Please see CHANGELOG.md for release versions and changes.

Features

The library exposes four classes namely; the WebApi class, the IDApi class, the Signature class, and the Utilities class.

The WebApi class has the following public methods:

• submit_job - handles submission of any of Smile Identity products that requires an image i.e. Biometric KYC, Document Verification, SmartSelfieTM Authentication and Business Verification.
• get_web_token - handles generation of web token, if you are using the Hosted Web Integration.

The IDApi class has the following public method:

• submit_job - handles submission of Enhanced KYC and Basic KYC.

The Signature class has the following public methods:

• generate_signature - generate a signature which is then passed as a signature param when making requests to the Smile Identity server.
• confirm_signature - ensure a response is truly from the Smile Identity server by confirming the incoming signature.

The Utilities Class allows you as the Partner to have access to our general Utility functions to gain access to your data. It has the following public methods:

• get_job_status - retrieve information & results of a job. Read more on job status in the Smile Identity documentation.
