Overview

This guide will walk you through the steps to create an account, obtain your API keys, and begin using the BIVE.AI verification APIs.

Step 1: Create an Account

1. Visit the BIVE.AI Registration Page:

   • Go to the BIVE.AI registration page.

2. Provide Account Information:

   • Enter your name, work email address, and phone number.

   • You can also optionally provide business details.

   • Ensure your email address is a valid work email.

3. Buy credits

   • Verifications require credits. Choose an amount to add to your account. Your first verification is free.

4. Access the BIVE Dashboard:

   • BIVE.AI will instantly verify your provided information and process your payment.

   • Upon successful verification and payment, you will gain immediate access to the BIVE dashboard.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA):

• For enhanced security, BIVE.AI implements 2FA by default.

• You will be required to enter your PIN and a One-Time Password (OTP) to access your account.

• The OTP will be sent to your registered phone number.

• You will be asked to set a PIN during account creation.

Step 2: API Authentication

1. Navigate to the API Tab:

   • Log in to your BIVE.AI dashboard and go to the "API" tab.

2. Copy API Keys:

   • Locate and copy your "Publishable Key" and "Secret Key."

   • The publishable key is used for client-side operations, and the secret key is used for server-side operations.

   
3. Securely Store API Keys:

   • Store your API keys securely and never expose your Secret Key in client-side code or commit it to version control.

4. Begin Using the API:

   • You can now use your API keys to initiate verification requests.

API Key Usage:

• Publishable Key:

  • Used for client-side operations, such as initializing the BIVE.AI JavaScript SDK.

• Secret Key:

  • Used for server-side operations, such as making API requests to verify documents or persons. Set the key in the authorization header in all requests

Keep your secret key confidential and secure.

Pass the secret key in the authorization header when you make api requests
