# OCR & Document Verification V1

We provide **two API endpoints** for **OCR (Optical Character Recognition) and IDV (Identity Verification)**:

1. **Full Details Endpoint - (**/verify**)**
2. **Summary Endpoint - (**/verify/summary**)**

#### **Key Differences**

Both endpoints offer the **same processing accuracy**, but they differ in the level of detail provided in the response.

**1. Full Details Endpoint**

* This endpoint provides a **comprehensive response** with **detailed insights** into the verification process.
* The response includes:
  * **Performed checks**
  * **Confidence scores** for each check
  * **Warnings** for checks breaching thresholds
  * **Errors** for failed checks
* Ideal for clients who require **in-depth insights** and want to make **custom decisions** based on the verification data.

**2. Summary Endpoint**

* This endpoint provides a **simplified response** with a **high-level decision** on whether the document is accepted or rejected.
* The response includes:
  * **Boolean values** (Success/Failure) for verification
  * **OCR-extracted values**
  * **Errors, if any**
* **No scores, warnings, or detailed breakdowns** are included.
* Suitable for clients who prefer a **concise and easy-to-integrate** response structure.
* Easier to maintain, as **new checks and updates** are less likes to impact the response format.

By offering these two endpoints, we ensure flexibility for different client needs—whether they require granular insights or a straightforward verification result.
