Can I verify identity documents with face matching in a single request?

Yes. The POST /document-verification-face endpoint accepts both an identity document image and a selfie, performs document data extraction and facial comparison together, and returns a combined verification result with confidence scores.

What are the rate limits for the Prembly API?

Rate limits depend on your Prembly subscription tier. You can check your current usage capacity via the GET /wallet-balance endpoint which returns your remaining verification credits. Higher-tier plans include increased throughput and priority processing.

How do I run a PEP and sanctions screening through Jentic?

Search Jentic for 'screen person against sanctions list', load the pep-sanction operation schema, and execute with the person's full name. The response includes matched records with confidence scores. Install the SDK with pip install jentic and authenticate with your JENTIC_AGENT_API_KEY.

Which countries does the Prembly API support for identity verification?

The GET /countries endpoint returns the full list of supported countries. Prembly focuses on African and emerging markets including Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, South Africa, and others, with document types varying by country. The GET /check-types endpoint lists available verification methods per country.

Can I track the status of an ongoing background check?

Yes. After creating a candidate via POST /candidates, poll GET /candidates/{id} to check the verification progress. If a check stalls or needs re-submission, use POST /candidates/{id}/reinitiate to restart the process with updated information.

Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Prembly API?

Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which Prembly operations and credentials the agent may use. Prembly takes document images and identity details in the request body rather than as a path resource, so scoping is by operation: you can restrict the agent to only the calls it needs, such as document verification or a PEP and sanctions screen. Operations like face liveliness, face comparison, or transaction monitoring are available only if you explicitly add them.
