Create an entity object and begin the process of verification after pushing a message to a mobile number. The entity will receive a link on their mobile and will then be guided through a series of steps to capture and OCR scan their ID, and perform a selfie comparison. We’ll then attempt to verify the data received and push a notification back to the calling customer.
At a minimum, you will need to supply the name and a MOBILE_PHONE document type.
SPECIAL NOTE: This will only ever return a 202 response if successfully accepted. You will need to ensure your account is configured for push notifications. Contact developer support to arrange this.
Customer ID issued by Frankie Financial. This will never change. Your API key, which is mapped to this identity, will change over time.
If, as a Frankie Customer, you are acting on behalf of your own customers, then you can populate this field with a Frankie-assigned ID.
Note: If using a CustomerChildID, you will also need a separate api_key for each child.
Any documents, checks, entities that are created when this field has been populated will now be tied to this CustomerID + CustomerChildID combination. Just as Customers cannot see data created by other Customers, so too a Customer’s Children will not be able to see each other’s data.
A Customer can see the documents/entities and checks of all their Children.
If this header parameter is supplied and set to 1, then the request will not wait for the process to finish, and will return a 202 if there are no obvious errors in the input. The request will then run in the background and send a notification back to the customer. See out callback API for details on this.

Open string that can be used to define the “channel” the request comes in from. It can potentially be used in routing and risk calculations upon request. Default values that can be used are:
Any alphanumeric string is supported though. Anything over 64 characters will be truncated.
Describes all of the data being used to verify an entity.
Contains any/all details we want to pass on to the device checking service as part of an activity / transaction. A transaction isn’t just a payment, but can represent a number of different interaction types. See below for more.
NOTE: If you’re sending this data, then your recipe or requested checkTypes MUST include a “device” checkType. Otherwise this data will be ignored and dropped.
The request was valid and can potentially be fulfilled. The Frankie service has now accepted responsibility for processing and we will either push the results to you, or send you a notification, depending on the request and your configuration.
If you’re calling a processing function of some kind, a check number will be issued. This field will only be present if the function you’re calling would normally return a checkId (such as scan, verify, and compare).
When an entity is created/uploaded, or generated from a document scan, it is assigned an entityId. This can then be referenced in subsequent calls if you’re uploading more/updated data.
Short description of the function called.
Optional link that can be returned - used by the Push To Mobile service to allow API users to manage the use of the onboarding link themselves.
Unique identifier for every request. Can be used for tracking down answers with technical support.
Uses the ULID format (a time-based, sortable UUID)
Note: this will be different for every request.
