Onboarding a new user

A typical flow to onboard new users

You can use the Onboarding API to onboard new users to the platform. A new user registered through the api will be a special type of user that's managed under the organization. This type of user does not need to complete certain steps in the KYC flow to simplify the onboarding process.

Firstly, you need to setup your API access. You can read more about that here.

Then, you can use the POST /api/auth/onboarding endpoint to register the new user. Here is an example.

import { createSignature } from "./createSignature";
const axios = require('axios');

const apiKey = "{YOUR API KEY}";
const secret = "{YOUR SECRET}";

async function onboarding() {
  const path = "https://idrx.co/api/auth/onboarding";

  const form = new FormData();
  form.append("email"    , "[email protected]");
  form.append("fullname" , "JOHN SMITH");
  form.append("address"  , "123 MAIN STREET, APT 1. HARRISBURG. PA 17101-0000");
  form.append("idNumber" , "83123997");
  form.append("idFile"   , fs.createReadStream('./path/to/id_file/83123997.png'));

  const bufferReq = Buffer.from(JSON.stringify(form), 'base64').toString('utf8');
  const timestamp = Math.round((new Date()).getTime()).toString();
  const sig = createSignature('POST', path, bufferReq, timestamp, secret);

  const res = await axios.post(path, form, {
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data',
      'idrx-api-key': apiKey,
      'idrx-api-sig': sig,
      'idrx-api-ts' : timestamp,
    },
  });

  console.log('res.data: ');
  console.log(res.data);
}

onboarding();

Please note that the parameters shown are just an example. When onboarding a new user, you must use valid and verifiable data. After a successful operation, you will get a response as follows:

{
  statusCode: 201,
  message: "success",
  data: {
    id: 1011,
    fullname: "JOHN SMITH",
    createdAt: "2023-12-12T08:10:29.077Z",
    apiKey: "fd1c15cb1fd157c7",
    apiSecret: "11b0de01a2cf17c1094db789bfa05eb1adc185482c3ee828a7ba617b83e9b711"
  }
}

You can then use the API keys to process requests for the specified user.
