Upgrading from v3

The Jumio Platform API is backward compatible with v3. Upgrading to the current Jumio Platform requires minimal changes to your integration. The most significant changes include:

What Stays the Same

  • API Authentication (although you are strongly encouraged to migrate to using OAuth2 Bearer Tokens instead of Basic Authentication, if you have not already done so. See Authorization for additional information).

  • API endpoints. The APIs you are used to using for account initialization, credential acquisition, transaction status, transaction detail retrieval, and credential deletion remain the same.

  • Transactions available in the Jumio Portal. Your v3 transactions are accessible through the Portal along with new transactions.

Retrieval Details

The transaction details return two additional objects:

  • A decision object with the overall dicision and risk score for the transaction. For example

       "decision": {
          "type": "PASSED",
          "details": {
             "label": "PASSED"
          },
          "risk": {
             "score": 0.0
          }
       },
       ...

  • A steps object that provides the URL to the new API for retrieving Workflow Steps

Workflow Keys

The v3 workflows all have corresponding Jumio Platform workflows that return the new details, in addition to taking advantage of the underlying platform improvements. You can take advantage of the new workflows by simply entering the new key in your account request.

You can also request that all requests for v3 workflow keys should be automatically mapped to the updated Platform workflow keys. Contact Support.
