Body parameters

string

default:"VEN"

required

ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country code for this database service.Example: VEN

string

default:"ven_cedula"

required

Array containing this service ID. Pinning the service keeps the request scoped to this exact database.Example: ven_cedula

string

default:"SAMPLE-DOC-12345"

required

Document number extracted from or provided by the user.Example: SAMPLE-DOC-12345

string

default:"John"

Given name to validate.Example: John

string

default:"Doe"

Family name to validate.Example: Doe

string

default:"user-1234"

Your stable user reference for this person, such as your internal user ID. Didit uses it to link standalone checks to the same end user and reduce duplicate-detection noise.Example: user-1234

Input rules & validation notes

Venezuelan Cédula (7-10 digits, optional V/E prefix)
document_number must be 7-12 characters long.
document_number must match [VvEe]?-?\d{7,10}.

How to call it

curl -X POST "https://verification.didit.me/v3/database-validation/" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -F "issuing_state=VEN" \
  -F "services=ven_cedula" \
  -F "vendor_data=user-1234" \
  -F "document_number=SAMPLE-DOC-12345"

Every successful call returns HTTP 200. The outcome_code field tells you what actually happened — distinguishing, for example, a real biometric mismatch (BIOMETRIC_NO_MATCH) from a selfie that could not be read (BIOMETRIC_IMAGE_UNUSABLE). The status shown is the default feature status; your configured Partial Match / No Match actions can override it.

MATCH — The registry confirmed the identity and every checked field matched.

{
  "request_id": "req_01H…",
  "status": "Approved",
  "issuing_state": "VEN",
  "match_type": "full_match",
  "validations": [
    {
      "outcome_code": "MATCH",
      "service_id": "ven_cedula",
      "service_name": "Venezuela - Cédula verification",
      "source_data": {
        "document_type": "sample_value",
        "first_name": "John",
        "full_name": "John Doe",
        "identification_number": "SAMPLE-ID-12345",
        "last_name": "Doe"
      },
      "validation": {
        "identification_number": "full_match"
      }
    }
  ]
}

NO_MATCH — The registry returned no match for the submitted data.

{
  "request_id": "req_01H…",
  "status": "Declined",
  "issuing_state": "VEN",
  "match_type": "no_match",
  "validations": [
    {
      "outcome_code": "NO_MATCH",
      "service_id": "ven_cedula",
      "service_name": "Venezuela - Cédula verification",
      "source_data": {
        "identification_number": "NO_MATCH"
      },
      "validation": {
        "identification_number": "no_match"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Returned data

The exact fields surfaced in source_data depend on what the registry returns. The generated example for ven_cedula currently documents this normalized shape:

document_type
first_name
full_name
identification_number
last_name

Pricing & SLAs

Venezuela - Cédula verification queries are billed only when Didit receives a conclusive result from the validation source.

Per-call price: $0.20 USD.
Billing: per successful query. You are not charged when the registry is unreachable, when required fields are missing, or when the request is rejected before reaching the source.
Latency: typical p95 < 2 s.
Availability: 99.9% per quarter on Didit’s side; downstream source availability varies by country and dataset.
