Show an IDPass

GET /api/v1/idpasses/{idpass_uuid} operationId: idpass.show

Base: https://portal.watcheye.com.au/api/v1/idpasses/{idpass_uuid}

Returns a single IDPass by UUID with its full configuration, current status, verification outcome, document/validation summaries, activity log, available image metadata and a link back to the originating ID check.

Asynchronous result

An IDPass is completed by the individual via a hosted link, so the result arrives asynchronously. Poll this endpoint until status reaches a terminal value (complete, expired, failed or cancelled).

Images and PDF

The images array contains metadata only. Fetch image bytes via download IDPass image and the verification certificate via download IDPass PDF.

Path parameters

FieldDescription
idpass_uuidrequired string (uuid)

data.source string

Whether the IDPass is bound to a saved entity or was launched adhoc.
