Developer-First Integration
VERIFIED BY CRED LAYER

API Integration — Connect Once, Trust Forever.

A single CreadLayer API key unlocks every trust primitive — identity verification, fraud scoring, trust profiles, consent ledger, and merchant monitoring. Merchants onboard all their data (customers, orders, business info, documents) through one integration. No separate keys per API, no piecemeal setup.

Overview

What is API Integration?

API integration is the process of connecting two or more applications or systems via their APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) to exchange data and perform actions automatically. It acts as a digital bridge, allowing different software tools to communicate with one another seamlessly.

For CreadLayer, this means your platform — whether a marketplace, logistics provider, fintech app, or gig platform — can instantly verify identities, assess fraud risk, check trust scores, and manage consent without ever leaving your existing workflow.

One Key, All Data

Merchants onboard everything with one API key.

No separate keys for each service. No siloed integrations. A single API key connects merchants to every CreadLayer trust primitive — and every data type they need to onboard.

Customer Data

Name, phone, email, CKYC, PAN, addresses, device fingerprints, and consent records — all verified through one API key.

Order Data

Order value, payment method, delivery pincode, product details, return history — scored for fraud risk automatically via the same key.

Business Data

GSTIN, PAN, CIN, turnover, beneficiary ownership, bank details — merchants onboard their entire business profile through a single API credential.

Documents & Verification

Upload CKYC documents, PAN, passports, driving licenses, address proofs, and business registrations — all processed through one integration point.

Trust Scores

Fetch identity trust scores, merchant trust scores, fraud risk scores — every score comes from the same API key, same endpoint pattern.

Real-time Results

Verification results, fraud alerts, score changes, consent updates — all delivered to your webhook endpoint, configured once per key.

How it works: Merchant generates one API key from the dashboard → sends any data type (customer, order, business, document) to the relevant endpoint → all APIs authenticate with the same key → results return in milliseconds. That's it.

Why Integrate

API Integration for Your Business

Here is how API integration helps your platform grow.

Cost & Time Efficiency

No reinventing the wheel. Developers do not need to build complex features like identity verification, fraud scoring, or trust profiles from scratch. Using pre-built CreadLayer APIs allows you to launch in weeks instead of months.

Automation & Accuracy

Seamless data flow between your platform and CreadLayer eliminates manual entry errors. Automated syncing ensures identity records, trust scores, and consent logs are always consistent across your entire stack.

Enhanced Customer Experience

Real-time verification, instant fraud decisions, and live trust scores. Users complete their journey — onboarding, verification, checkout — without leaving your platform or waiting for manual reviews.

Scalability & Flexibility

As your business grows, plug in new tools without rewriting your codebase. Add global shipping partners, multi-currency support, or new verification types — CreadLayer APIs scale with you.

CreadLayer APIs

Every trust primitive as an API.

Identity, fraud, scoring, consent, and monitoring — all available via REST, GraphQL, and native SDKs.

REST

Identity Verification

Verify CKYC documents, PAN, passports, and driving licenses with liveness detection and face match. Returns a verified identity record with trust score.

REST

Fraud Scoring & COD Shield

Real-time AI-powered fraud risk assessment for COD and prepaid orders. Returns a 0–999 score with explainable risk factors. Displays 'Protected by COD Shield' badge on safe-to-fulfill COD orders.

REST

Trust Score API

Fetch and update portable trust profiles. Scores aggregate identity, behavioral, network, and historical signals into a single reusable value.

REST

Consent Ledger

DPDP-compliant consent management. Log every data share with explicit, time-bound, revocable consent records and full audit trails.

REST

KYB & Merchant Monitoring

Business identity verification (GSTIN, PAN, CIN) with ongoing risk monitoring. Get alerts on chargebacks, compliance issues, and status changes.

WEBHOOK

Webhook Events

Receive real-time event notifications for verification results, score changes, consent updates, and fraud alerts via POST to your endpoint.

CORE

Single Key, All APIs

One API key authenticates every CreadLayer API — identity, fraud, trust scores, consent, and monitoring. Generate scoped keys from the dashboard with granular permissions per API.

CHECKOUT

Delivery Protect

Micro-charge order protection for every prepaid checkout. A compulsory-by-default fee (paisa-tier, <₹1) that tracks delivery completion and protects against fake 'order delivered' marking. Toggle to opt out.

Checkout Protection

Every order protected. COD or prepaid.

CreadLayer adds trust at the final step — the checkout. Two protection layers, zero friction, fully API-integrated.

COD ORDERS

Protected by COD Shield

Every COD order scored by the AI Fraud Engine gets a “Protected by COD Shield” badge automatically displayed at checkout. Buyers see the shield, merchants reduce RTO. Badge renders via a single API response flag — no extra work.

Protected by COD Shield
API flag: cod_shield_protected: trueAuto-displayed
PREPAID ORDERS

Delivery Protect

A micro-charge added by default to every prepaid checkout — typically a fraction of a rupee (paisa-tier, less than ₹1, based on a small percentage of the order value). It tracks delivery completion end-to-end and protects against fake “order delivered” marking. Toggle to opt out.

Example scenario

You order a cake. The delivery boy calls saying he's on his way, then marks the order delivered on the app — but you never received it. Delivery Protect tracks every handoff, logs GPS + timestamp at delivery, and provides an immutable proof trail to resolve disputes instantly.

Appears in checkout like this:
Protect your order
+ ₹0.48Tracks delivery, resolves disputes, protects against fake delivery marking
By default on. Toggle off to remove. Charge is paisa-tier (<₹1).
