SwiftDil API 1.0
Updated 2019-01-11
API endpoint
https://api.swiftdil.com (live)
https://sandbox.swiftdil.com (sandbox)
Examples in this documentation are generated using Postman.
This document is a detailed reference for our REST API.
The SwiftDil API offers a framework and functionality for businesses that want to automate their Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) processes. The API is built using REST endpoints - it has predictable, resource-oriented URLs, and uses HTTP response codes to indicate API errors. JSON is returned by all API responses, including errors.
As a general guideline, if a property has an empty or null value, we drop it from the JSON unless there’s a strong semantic reason for its existence.
We’ve designed our documentation to be easy to use. It is grouped by feature sets and offers practical examples.
Try Now
Try the SwiftDil API in seconds. Create your first customer, perform screening checks, and more by following the steps below.
Access your test token
To make our API as explorable as possible, accounts have sandbox and live API keys. Just use the appropriate key along with the corresponding SwiftDil domain to perform a live call to api.swiftdil.com, or test call to sandbox.swiftdil.com. Requests made to the sandbox environment will not incur a cost.
Register an account with us to immediately access your live and sandbox token from your Dashboard.
Create customer$ curl https://api.swiftdil.com/v1/customers \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer test_api_token' \
-H 'content-type: application/json' \
-X POST
-d '{
"type" : "INDIVIDUAL",
"email" : "john.doe@example.com",
"first_name" : "John",
"last_name" : "Doe",
"gender" : "MALE",
"dob" : "1980-01-01"
}'
$ curl https://api.swiftdil.com/v1/customers \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer test_api_token' \
-H 'content-type: application/json' \
-X POST
-d '{
"type" : "INDIVIDUAL",
"email" : "john.doe@example.com",
"first_name" : "John",
"last_name" : "Doe",
"gender" : "MALE",
"dob" : "1980-01-01"
}'
As a first step, a customer must be created to facilitate all further checks. Let’s create the customer John Doe using your token. Copy the curl request on the right, replace test_api_token with your given test token, and run it in your terminal to create a customer.
You should see the created customer object in the response.
Note down the id
attribute of the customer as it is required for the next step.
Screen customer$ curl https://api.swiftdil.com/v1/customers/{customer_id}/screenings \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer test_api_token' \
-H 'content-type: application/json' \
-X POST
-d '[
"WATCHLIST",
"PEP"
]'
$ curl https://api.swiftdil.com/v1/customers/{customer_id}/screenings \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer test_api_token' \
-H 'content-type: application/json' \
-X POST
-d '[
"WATCHLIST",
"PEP"
]'
Now that we created a customer, you are ready to run a screening check against SwiftDil’s global watchlist and Politically Exposed Persons (PEP) database.
Copy the curl request on the right, replace customer_id with the customer id
generated previously, and run it in your terminal to start screening.
You should see the created screening object in the response. In this case, the check has completed and the result is a clear.
Please note that this is a result based on a simulated run, as screenings are not actually run against real-life databases in the sandbox environment.
Topics
Authentication and headers
Example Request
curl https://api.swiftdil.com/v1/oauth2/token \
-H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
-u "client_id:secret"
To make a REST API call, you must include request headers including the Authorization
header with an OAuth 2.0 access token.
To get an access token, you must first create an account, then SwiftDil will generate a set of OAuth client_id and secret keys for your app for both the sandbox and live environments. Then, you pass the client_id:secret credentials in the Authorization
header to acquire an access token.
The authorisation server issues an access token in exchange for your client ID and secret credentials. You use the access token for authentication when you make REST API requests.
All API requests must be made over HTTPS. Any requests made over HTTP will fail.
Request Header
Request Header | Description |
---|---|
Authorization required |
To request an access token, send your client_id and secret values as the HTTP basic authentication credentials. If you use cURL, specify -u “*client_id:secret*”. When you call APIs, send the value as the OAuth 2.0 access token with the authentication type set as Bearer. For example: Authorization: Bearer |
Errors
SwiftDil uses standard HTTP response codes to indicate the success or failure of an API request. In general, codes in the 2xx range indicate success, codes in the 4xx range indicate an error that failed given the information provided (e.g. a required parameter was omitted, etc.), and codes in the 5xx range indicate an error with SwiftDil’s servers.

Resources
Customers
A customer represents the individual or company the various checks are being performed on. To initiate a check, a customer must be created first. The API allows you to create, retrieve, update, and delete your customers. You can retrieve specific customers as well as a list of all your customers.
A customer must first be created to facilitate all further checks. Once a customer is created, we will automatically generate a risk profile.

Risk Profile
The risk profile is designed to provide you with a high-level snapshot of the key customer attributes and risk indicators that will assist you in shaping your ongoing customer relationship. It facilitates a risk-based framework for Client Due Diligence (CDD) and Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD).
The values of the risk profile are calculated by SwiftDil’s proprietary risk engine and cannot be overridden.
The API allows you to retrieve your customer’s risk profile.

Ongoing Due Diligence
SwiftDil allows you to meet your Ongoing Customer Due Diligence (ODD) commitments by providing you with the means to screen your customers on a regular basis against our daily-refreshed databases and lists.
To complement your risk-based KYC screening process, it is recommended that you first perform screening on your customers, and once they have been successfully onboarded to create ODD instructions to apply continuous monitoring, using SwitfDil’s configurable frequencies and scopes.
The API allows you to create, update and retrieve ODD instructions for each of your customers.

Document Verifications
SwiftDil offers an extensive array of out-of-the-box document verifications. Two verification types exist:
MRZ verification performs analysis checks on the Machine Readable Zone (MRZ) values specified by the user.
Image verification performs image, Optical Character Recognition (OCR), and MRZ analysis on the attachments associated with the supplied document.
The table below lists the various analysis checks that are undertaken by SwifDil’s document verification engine, depending on the verification type you opt for.
Analysis Type | Verification | Description |
---|---|---|
authenticity_analysis |
IMAGE ,MRZ |
Asserts whether the document is a fake, a specimen, or a copy. |
integrity_analysis |
IMAGE ,MRZ |
Asserts whether the document was of a valid and an identifiable format |
content_analysis |
IMAGE |
Asserts whether data extracted by OCR from multiple places on the document is consistent with the data held in MRZ. |
mrz_analysis |
IMAGE ,MRZ |
Asserts whether MRZ data is valid and adheres to the internationally-recognised standards. |
consistency_analysis |
IMAGE ,MRZ |
Asserts whether data on the document is consistent with customers detailed held by SwiftDil e.g. Asserts whether the name on a passport is the same as your customer’s name. |
expiration_check |
IMAGE ,MRZ |
Checks whether the document at hand has expired or not. |
Depending on the document type and issuing country, images of both sides of the document may be required. The table below specifies the document types for which both sides are required:
Name | Country | Type |
---|---|---|
National Identity Card | EU and European Free Trade Association | NATIONAL_ID_CARD |
Driving License | Canada | DRIVING_LICENSE |
Visa | Biometric Residence Permit | VISA |
The API allows you to create and retrieve document verification requests.
