Once the applicant completes the session, results appear in your dashboard. You can download a copy or store the proof.

Get your API key

Email info@cr3dentials.xyz to approve your email for a partner account.
Log into the dashboard.
Go to the Partner section and click Create a Team.
Open View all keys.
Generate and copy your API key.

Every request authenticates with this key:

x-api-key: your_api_key_here

List available platforms

Platforms tell you which accounts can be verified. Use the returned id as platformId.

curl https://app.cr3dentials.xyz/v1/partner/browser-platforms \
  -H "x-api-key: $CR3D_API_KEY"

Create a browser session

curl -X POST https://app.cr3dentials.xyz/v1/partner/browser-session \
  -H "x-api-key: $CR3D_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "platformId": 1,
    "receiverData": { "name": "John Doe", "email": "john@example.com" },
    "country": "US",
    "expiresInHours": 24,
    "webhookUrl": "https://your-app.com/webhooks/cr3dentials",
    "externalReferenceId": "user_abc123"
  }'

Set country to route the verification browser through a residential proxy in that country (US, IN, DE, GB, JP, SG, AU, BR). The closest region is selected automatically. Omit it to auto-select based on the platform’s domain.

The response contains an embedUrl:

{
  "status": "success",
  "data": {
    "sessionId": "a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890",
    "status": "CREATED",
    "embedUrl": "https://frame.cr3dentials.xyz/verify/a1b2c3d4...?token=xxx",
    "platformId": 1,
    "expiresAt": "2025-03-25T12:00:00.000Z",
    "createdAt": "2025-03-24T12:00:00.000Z",
    "externalReferenceId": "user_abc123"
  }
}

Embed the session

Render the embedUrl in an iframe. The user completes login and verification inside it.

<iframe
  src="https://frame.cr3dentials.xyz/verify/a1b2c3d4...?token=xxx"
  allow="camera; microphone"
  style="width:100%;height:720px;border:0"
></iframe>

Get the result

Either poll the session or receive a webhook when it reaches a terminal status.

curl https://app.cr3dentials.xyz/v1/partner/browser-session/a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890 \
  -H "x-api-key: $CR3D_API_KEY"

When status is COMPLETED, extractedData holds the verified account data and hasAttestation is true.
