Getting Started

The Interac Developer Portal allows you to perform self-service onboarding and integration of your custom solution to a developer sandbox version of the Interac Hub environment via the Hub API.

For onboarding to the Hub preprod/prod environments, please refer to the Quick Start and Integration Guide. Continue below for a walkthrough of the Developer Portal and setting up a Project / client ID in this experimental environment.

Through the Developer Portal, you can experience the Interac Hub verification service which exposes an OpenID Provider (OP). It allows your application acting as a Relying Party (RP) to obtain the profile of your End User through the OpenID Connect Protocol.

Each Developer Portal project creates a client ID on the Interac Hub and allows you to call the underlying Hub API endpoints to perform test ID verification. Each project consists of:

• Playground: A user interface to perform ID verification without any custom coding/integration required
• OIDC Connectivity: A client ID created for each project for Hub API requests, supporting custom integrations
• Scope Selection: A selection of ID verification templates available through the Interac Verification Service (IVS) and Interac Document Verification Service (IDVS) for financial institution authentication and/or government document verification, and a listing of user claims to be returned via the Hub API
• Subject Matching: The ability to match your own partner-provided user details to the user claims received back from the financial institution/government ID verification
