ID scanning API
ID barcode parsing (PDF417) to data string
The first step in our digital identity verification process is to scan and ingest the data stored in the ID’s barcode.
Sample RESTful web service response for 2D barcode information:
POST https://app1.idware.net/DriverLicenseParserRest.svc/Parse HTTP/1.1
Host: app1.idware.net
Content-Type: text/json
Cache-Control: no-cache
{“authKey”:”[authKey]”, “text” : “[base-64 encoded driver license text]”}
What information can be extracted from a 2D barcode on the back of a ID?
All data seen on the front of an ID is also stored in the ID’s barcode including items such as first name, last name, address, date of birth.
