Key Benefits

Track the processing status of large AIS requests

Retrieve completed AIS files without reinitiating the request

Access both PDF and JSON formats of AIS data

Seamlessly integrate with your existing ITR processing workflows

Use Cases

Financial Services

Tax Preparation

Wealth Management

Automate tax filing processes by retrieving AIS data for clients

Integrate AIS data into financial planning and advisory services

Verify client income and tax information for loan processing

Technical Implementation

Authentication

All API requests require authentication using a JWT Bearer token. Authentication follows these steps:

Obtain API Credentials: Register with Surepass to receive your API key.

Generate JWT Token: Use your API key to generate a JWT token.

Include in Requests: Add the token to the Authorization header as Bearer TOKEN.

Different authentication tokens are used for sandbox and production environments:

Sandbox: https://sandbox.surepass.io

Production: https://kyc-api.surepass.io

Integration Best Practices

Security Recommendations

Store JWT tokens securely and never expose them in client-side code

Implement proper error handling to manage authentication failures

Set up automated token refresh mechanisms to handle token expiration

Use HTTPS for all API communications to ensure data encryption

User Experience Guidelines

Implement a polling mechanism for pending requests with appropriate intervals

Display meaningful progress indicators while waiting for AIS data to be processed

Provide clear error messages to users when AIS retrieval fails

Cache AIS data appropriately to minimize redundant API calls
