NameScan API Reference v2

Welcome to the NameScan RESTful API. You can use our API to access NameScan functionalities.

The NameScan API is organised around REST. Our API has predictable, resource-oriented URLs, and uses HTTP response codes to indicate API errors. We use built-in HTTP features, such as HTTP authentication and HTTP verbs, which are understood by off-the-shelf HTTP clients. We support cross-origin resource sharing, allowing you to interact securely with our API from a client-side web application (though you should never expose your secret API key in any public website’s client-side code). JSON is returned by all API responses, including errors.

We have language bindings in cUrl, Ruby, and Python. You can view code examples in the dark area to the right, and you can switch the programming language of the examples with the tabs in the top right.

NameScan API Reference v1

Authentication

Authenticate your account when using the API by including your secret or test API key in the request. You can manage your API keys in your profile. Your API keys carry many privileges, so be sure to keep them secret! Do not share your secret API keys in publicly accessible areas.

NameScan API expects for the API key to be included in all API requests to the server in a header that looks like the following:

api-key: your-api-key

All API requests must be made over HTTPS. Calls made over plain HTTP will fail. API requests without authentication will also fail.

Errors

NameScan uses conventional HTTP response codes to indicate the success or failure of an API request. In general, codes in the 2xx range indicate success, codes in the 4xx range indicate an error that failed given the information provided (e.g. a required parameter was omitted, etc) and codes in the 5xx range indicate an error with NameScans servers..

Error Codes

Status	Description
200 - OK	The request succeeded and the requested information is in the response. This is the most common status code to receive.
201 - Created	The request resulted in a new resource being created before the response was sent.
204 - No Content	The request has been successfully processed and the response is intentionally blank.
400 - Bad Request	The request could not be understood by the server. Bad Request is sent when no other error is applicable, if the exact error is unknown or does not have its own error code.
401 - Unauthorized	The requested resource requires authentication.
403 - Forbidden	The server refuses to fulfill the request.
500 - Internal Server Error	A generic error has occurred on the server.

In addition to the error code, the response always contains a message that describes the details of the error that occurred.

The “400 - Bad Request” response also always contains a ModelState that describes detail of incorrect or invalid sent parameter.

Pagination

GET Requests that return multiple items will be paginated to 10 items by default. You can specify further pages with the ?page_index parameter. You can also set a custom page size up to 100 with the ?page_size parameter.

ARGUMENTS

Name	Description
page_index	The page index of results.
page_size	The item per page of results.

Person Standard Scans

The person-scans/standard API’s allow you to manage person standard scans (get history, get a specific scan, perform new scan).
