onfido

Onfido - JavaScript client for onfido The Onfido API is used to submit check requests.

This package is automatically generated by the OpenAPI Generator project:

  • API version: 2.0.0
  • Package version: 4.3.0
  • Build package: org.openapitools.codegen.languages.JavascriptClientCodegen

Installation

Install via npm:

npm install onfido

Alternatively, if you're using Yarn:

yarn add onfido

Frontend JavaScript: warning

You must not use this project in your application's frontend because it uses API tokens. Instead, you can use the Onfido Web SDK for frontend JavaScript.

If you use this project in your frontend, malicious users could discover the tokens in your source code. You should only use this project in your backend code.

You can read more about API token security in the Onfido API reference documentation.

Getting Started

Please follow the installation instruction and execute the following JS code:

const Onfido = require('onfido');

const defaultClient = Onfido.ApiClient.instance;

// Configure API key authorization: Token
const token_auth = defaultClient.authentications['Token'];
token_auth.apiKey = 'token=' + 'YOUR API KEY';
token_auth.apiKeyPrefix = 'Token';

// Limit the at-rest region, if needed (optional, see https://documentation.onfido.com/#regions)
// defaultClient.basePath = Onfido.ApiClient.getBasePathFromSettings(1, {region: 'us'});

const api = new Onfido.DefaultApi();

// Setting applicant details
const applicant = new Onfido.Applicant();
applicant.first_name = 'John';
applicant.last_name = 'Smith';
applicant.dob = new Date('1980-01-22');
applicant.country = 'GBR';

// You can also use getters and setters for properties using camelCase:
// applicant.setFirstName('John');
// applicant.setLastName('Smith');

const address = new Onfido.Address();
address.building_number = '100';
address.street = 'Main Street';
address.town = 'London';
address.postcode = 'SW4 6EH';
address.country = 'GBR';

applicant.addresses = [address];

// Setting check details
const check = new Onfido.Check();
check.type = 'express';
const report = new Onfido.Report();
report.name = 'identity';
check.reports = [report];

// Using promises
api.createApplicant(applicant).then(applicantData => {
  const applicantId = applicantData.id;
  return api.createCheck(applicantId, check);
}).then(checkData => {
  console.log(checkData);
}).catch(error => {
  console.error(error.response.body);
});

// Using async/await
(async () => {
  try {
    const applicantData = await api.createApplicant(applicant);
    const applicantId = applicantData.id;
    const checkData = await api.createCheck(applicantId, check);
    console.log(checkData);
  } catch(error) {
    console.error(error.response.body);
  }
})();

Uploading and Downloading

For uploading files, the file argument should be a Readable Stream. For example, for uploading a document:

const documentImage = fs.createReadStream('document.png');
api.uploadDocument(applicantId, 'passport', documentImage);

There is currently an issue with OpenAPI Generator, the tool used to generate this library, that prevents downloading files from working in Node. As a workaround, you can use the API endpoints for downloading files directly. See the API documentation for more info:
