OneSDK for KYC

FrankieOne customers can use the OneSDK for their KYC requirements. OneSDK replaces the need for customers to work with multiple service providers by creating a interface for integrating different vendors consistently.

The following sections will help you setup OneSDK for your KYC implementation needs.

Capturing details from an individual

Each instance of OneSDK is initialized with a session that is associated with the user being onboarded. The user may already be represented by an Entity object in the FrankieOne platform, or it may be a new user that isn't known to FrankieOne yet. When initializing OneSDK with an existing entity, OneSDK will load any information that was previously submitted, allowing you to build continuous application experiences across multiple user sessions.

Initialize OneSDK for a new user

When onboarding a new user, you can define a customer reference when creating the OneSDK session object. This customer reference will be associated with the entity to be created.

The following example creates a session object for a user using a customer reference.

ENCODED_CREDENTIAL=$(echo -ne "$YOUR_CUSTOMER_ID:$API_KEY" | base64);

curl https://backend.demo.frankiefinancial.io/auth/v2/machine-session \
  -X POST \
  -H "Authorization: machine $ENCODED_CREDENTIAL"
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "permissions": {
      "preset": "one-sdk",
      "reference": "YOUR_CUSTOMER_REFERENCE",
    }
  }';

Initialize OneSDK for an existing user

You can also create the entity in FrankieOne upfront, and use the resulting entity ID to instantiate OneSDK.

ENCODED_CREDENTIAL=$(echo -ne "$YOUR_CUSTOMER_ID:$API_KEY" | base64);

curl https://backend.demo.frankiefinancial.io/auth/v2/machine-session \
  -X POST \
  -H "Authorization: machine $ENCODED_CREDENTIAL"
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "permissions": {
      "preset": "one-sdk",
      "entityId": "ENTITY_ID_FROM_FRANKIE_ONE",
    }
  }';

Access the user's information

Obtain the individual object from the initialized root object.

const config = { 
  dummy: true // remove this in production
}
const oneSdk = await OneSdk(config);
const individual = oneSdk.individual();

Personal information about the user can be accessed using the access(fieldName) method. This method returns accessors for the given field.

Get and set values

You can obtain a getter and setter for each field using the individual.access(fieldName) method.

The following example obtains the name field getter and setter, then updates the values.

const { getValue, setValue } = individual.access('name');

// Get the current values
const { givenName, familyName } = getValue()

// Update the user with new values
setValue({
  givenName: "Albert",
  familyName: "Einstein",
  middleName: "J" 
})

Subscribe to changes

The access(fieldName) method also returns an RXJS.Observable object that allows you to subscribe to changes to the field's value for building reactive applications.

const { observable } = individual.access("name");
observable.subscribe(newName => {
  // update your interface with the new value
});

All fields

The supported field names are:

Field nameDescription
'entityId'string
'name'{ givenName, middleName, familyName }
'dateOfBirth'string
'consentsGiven'Array of consent keywords string[] that need to be provided before submission
'addresses'Array of Address objects associated with the individual. See table below.
'documents'ocrResult?: {Described later}, scans: Scan[] }`
'hasLoaded'boolean

The Address object:

PropertyType

The Document object:

PropertyType
documentIdstring
idType'PASSPORT' or 'DRIVERS_LICENCE'
countryChar3CountryCode
idNumberstring
extraDataHash of document specific fields.
ocrResultOCRResult object (optional)

The OCRResult object

The OCRResult object describes the data that could be extracted from a document image. It consists of fixed and variable properties according to what was extracted.

Fixed properties:

PropertyType
ocrDatetimeDateTimeString
statusOCRStatus
mismatchOCRExtractedFields[]
documentType'PASSPORT' | 'DRIVERS_LICENSE'

Variable properties:

The OCRResult object will vary based on what was extracted. For example:

{
  ...,
    
  documentTypeInternal: "DRIVERS_LICENCE",  
  dateOfExpiry: "2031-05-28",  
  dateOfIssue: "2021-05-28",  
  documentType: "DRIVERS_LICENCE",  
  documentNumber: "999999999",  
  dateOfBirth: "1990-01-01",

  town: "Melbourne",  
  street: "80 Collins Street",  
  firstName: "PETER",  
  lastName: "TESTTHIRTEEN",  
}

The Scan object:

The Scan object represents a captured image of a document.

PropertyType
scanIdstring
mimeTypestring
scanNamestring
side'F' or 'B'
scanCreatedDateTime string

Submit changes to an individual's details

When you update the details of an individual using OneSDK, the changes are stored locally but are not submitted automatically.

Use the submit() method to persist the details in the FrankieOne platform.

await individual.submit();

Verify an individual

You may also request checks to be run with the optional parameter { verify: true }. The submit method will return a CheckSummary object in this case.

const checkResults = await oneSdkIndividual.submit({
  verify: true
});

The CheckSummary object

Object containing different data regarding check results. More complete details can be retrieved by direct API calls.

PropertyTypeDescription

statusobjectAn object describing the entity's overall status.
status.type'failed', 'passed', 'fail_manual', 'pass_manual', 'refer', 'wait', 'unchecked', 'archived' or 'inactive'
