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 avoid exposing sensitive information

Rotate JWT tokens periodically to minimize security risks

Validate email addresses before sending to prevent potential data leakage

User Experience Guidelines

Implement date range validation to ensure end_date is after start_date

Provide clear feedback to users when a report request is successfully submitted

Consider implementing a notification system to alert users when reports are ready

Limit date ranges to reasonable periods (e.g., 90 days) to ensure timely report generation
