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.

Implement proper error handling to prevent sensitive information leakage

Rotate JWT tokens regularly and implement token expiration policies

Use HTTPS for all API communications to ensure data encryption in transit

User Experience Guidelines

Implement caching strategies to improve response times for frequently accessed UAN data

Provide clear error messages to users when mobile numbers don't match any UAN records

Include loading indicators during API calls to improve perceived performance

Validate mobile number format on the client-side before making API requests
