From estate agents to insurers, from legal firms to fintechs — teams across South Africa use VerifyNow to run the same checks at the click of a button.
A single REST endpoint for every check we offer. Authenticate with an API key, pass an Idempotency-Key for production, and test against sandbox without burning a single credit.
Every check hits the same /api/external surface, authenticated with a single x-api-key header. No separate keys per service.
Pass an Idempotency-Key header to safely retry requests without duplicate charges. Required for production calls.
Set mode to "sandbox" to develop against mock responses free of charge, then flip to production when you’re ready.
Credits are deducted per successful verification. Predictable HTTP response codes (400, 401, 402, 409, 429) for billing + rate-limit edge cases.
