Creating or Updating Accounts

An account is a unique identifier (UUID) that is used to associate a set of credentials and transactions (i.e. workflow executions) with a customer. Each transaction is associated with one account, and an account can be associated with multiple transactions.

If you are onboarding a new customer, use the POST request to create a new account.
If you are updating an existing account, use the PUT request, with the account ID value as a path parameter.

For the complete API specification see: Account API Reference.

Creating or updating the account is always done through a REST API call, regardless of the integration channel. Account requests are subject to Rate Limits.

Account Request

The request body for either an account creation or account update request is a JSON object.

Required Fields

Field	Type	Max. Length	Notes
customerInternalReference	string	100	Customer internal reference for a request to link it in the customer backend (must not contain any PII). Must not contain any of the following characters: <>"/;`%{}\|
`workflowDefinition` object	string	255	A `key` value is required to specify the workflow for the transaction. Other values may be required, depending on the workflow.

Account Request Body Required Fields Example

{
   "customerInternalReference":"myOrganization",
   "workflowDefinition":{
      "key": 10011
   }
}

Optional Fields

Field	Type	Max. Length	Notes
userReference	string	100	Reference for the end user in the customer backend (must not contain any PII)
reportingCriteria	string	255	Additional information provided by a customer for searching and aggregation purposes
callbackUrl	string	255	Definition of the callback URL for this particular request. Overrides callback URL in the Customer Portal.
tokenLifetime	string	min: 5m, max: 60d, default: 30m	Should be a valid date period unit definition: s - seconds, m - minutes, h - hours d - days. Example: ‘1d’ / ‘30m’ / ‘600s’. Overrides Authorization token lifetime in the Customer Portal.
web	object		Used to override default values that are configured in the Portal. Only relevant for the WEB channel.
userConsent	object		If your integration uses REST APIs for Credential Acquisition you must obtain the end-user's consent to share their personal information with Jumio. See: End-User Consent to Collect Personal Data.

workflowDefinition

A workflowDefinition object is required for all requests, and must include a key value that specifies the workflow for the transaction An executed business process that is associated with an account. The transaction applies credentials for the account to a workflow and contains the decision rendered by the workflow..

Additional objects may be required to configure workflows that use some services An identity verification service provided by Jumio that evaluates a set of credentials and renders a decision. A service is invoked by a workflow. A workflow can invoke a single service or a sequence of services and/or risk signals. or risk signals Risk signals are additional third-party services that can be invoked by a workflow. They are typically used to augment the standard services and provide extra assurance for determining the end user’s fraud risk., including:

credentials object used to specify a particular type of credential to upload for the transaction. For example, the Document Verification service (standalone workflow 10026, or any workflow that uses the Extraction capability to extract data from a Document credential
capabilities object used to specify configuration options for specific capabilities.

credentials

An array of the credentials required for the workflow. A credentials array is required if credentials are going to be uploaded by REST API calls. A credentials array is also used to:

Limit the sets of ID types and countries that are presented to end user during the customer journey. For example, the following limits the end user to choosing either USA or Canada, and either Driving License or ID Card. No other options are presented.
```
"credentials": [
         {
            "category": "ID",
            "country": {
               "predefinedType": "DEFINED",
               "values": ["USA", "CAN"]
            },
            "type": {
               "predefinedType": "DEFINED",
               "values": ["DRIVING_LICENSE", "ID_CARD"]
            }  
         }
      ]
```
Due to a limitation in the Web Client, only the first specified country and type value will be shown to the end user.

Specify a Document credential to use with a Document Verification workflow such as 10026. In this case the type and country must be specified to enable the Extraction capability. For example, the following is required to enable the extraction of expected values from a Bank Statement from the USA:

      "credentials": [
            {
                "category": "DOCUMENT",
                "country": {
                    "predefinedType": "DEFINED",
                    "values": ["USA"]
                },
                "type": {
                    "predefinedType": "DEFINED",
                    "values": ["BS"]
                }  
            }
        ]

Field	Type	Notes
id	string	UUID of the credentials
category	string	Credential category. Possible values: ID DOCUMENT FACEMAP It is not common to specify a FACEMAP. Consult with your account representative for additional information.
country	object	Defined at least one ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country code for the workflow definition. Possible values: ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country code
type	object	Defined number of credential type codes. Possible values: ID_CARD DRIVING LICENSE PASSPORT VISA

capabilities

Provide values for capabilities that require additional configuration properties.

Field	Type	Notes
watchlistScreening	object	Override the default search profile.
ruleset	object	Override the default ruleset used by the workflow.
documentVerification	object	Configure additional capabilities to use with Document Verification.

watchlistScreening

Used to configure the Watchlist Screening capability by overriding the default searchProfile. Consult your Jumio representative for additional information.

"capabilities":{
   "watchlistScreening": {
       "searchProfile": "abcd1234-xx11-yy22-zz33-a1b2-a1b2c3d4e5f6"
   }
}

searchProfile is the alphanumeric string that is the identifier for your searchProfile.

ruleset

"capabilities": {
            "ruleset": {
                "ids": ["id1", "id2", "id3"]
            }
