Didit - Identity Verification API
Setup
Read your credentials from ~/.gooseworks/credentials.json:
export GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY=$(python3 -c "import json;print(json.load(open('$HOME/.gooseworks/credentials.json'))['api_key'])")
export GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE=$(python3 -c "import json;print(json.load(open('$HOME/.gooseworks/credentials.json')).get('api_base','https://api.gooseworks.ai'))")
If ~/.gooseworks/credentials.json does not exist, tell the user to run: npx gooseworks login

AML Screening
The AML Screening API allows you to screen individuals or companies against global watchlists and high-risk databases. This API provides real-time screening capabilities to detect potential matches and mitigate risks associated with financial fraud and terrorism.
Parameters:
- full_name* (string) - Full name of the person or company to be screened.
- entity_type (string) - Type of entity to screen. Either 'person' or 'company'. Defaults to 'person'.
- date_of_birth (date) - Date of birth for persons or incorporation date for companies, with format: YYYY-MM-DD. For example,
1990-05-15.
- nationality (string) - Nationality of the person to be screened with format ISO 3166-1 alpha-2. For example:
ES. Only applicable for person entity type.
- document_number (string) - Document number of the person to be screened. Only applicable for person entity type.
- aml_score_approve_threshold (number) - Score threshold below which hits are auto-approved (0-100). Hits with match scores below this threshold will be marked as approved. Default: 86.
- aml_score_review_threshold (number) - Score threshold above which hits are auto-declined (0-100). Hits with match scores above this threshold will be declined. Scores between approve and review thresholds require manual review. Default: 100.
- aml_name_weight (integer) - Weight for name similarity in match score calculation (0-100). The sum of aml_name_weight + aml_dob_weight + aml_country_weight must equal 100. Default: 60.
- aml_dob_weight (integer) - Weight for date of birth in match score calculation (0-100). The sum of aml_name_weight + aml_dob_weight + aml_country_weight must equal 100. Default: 25.
- aml_country_weight (integer) - Weight for country/nationality in match score calculation (0-100). The sum of aml_name_weight + aml_dob_weight + aml_country_weight must equal 100. Default: 15.
- aml_match_score_threshold (integer) - Match score threshold (0-100) that determines if a hit is a False Positive or Unreviewed (Possible Match). Hits with match_score below this are marked as 'False Positive' and excluded from risk assessment. Hits at or above are 'Unreviewed' (Possible Match). Default: 93.
- include_adverse_media (boolean) - Wheter to include adverse media in the screening. If included, the request will take approximately 10 seconds.
- include_ongoing_monitoring (boolean) - Whether to include ongoing monitoring in the screening. If included, the save_api_request must be included as well, otherwise it will raise an error.
