Prerequisites

  • Sandbox credentials: Ensure you have Prove Sandbox credentials from the Developer Portal. To access Sandbox credentials, follow the steps outlined on the Authentication page. To access the Prove API, use your OAuth 2.0 client ID and client secret. You can load these from environment variables or another method:
clientID := os.Getenv("PROVE_CLIENT_ID")
clientSecret := os.Getenv("PROVE_CLIENT_SECRET")

proveEnv := "uat-us" // Use UAT in US region.

client := provesdkservergo.New(
	provesdkservergo.WithServer(proveEnv),
	provesdkservergo.WithSecurity(components.Security{
		ClientID:     provesdkservergo.String(clientID),
		ClientSecret: provesdkservergo.String(clientSecret),
	}),
)
Token ExpirationThe OAuth token expires after 60 minutes, requiring you to get another token.
  • Server-side SDK: Install the server-side SDK of your choice by running a command in your terminal, or by using a dependency management tool specific to your project.
# The Go library is hosted on GitHub so you can use this command to import it
# to your Go application.
go get github.com/prove-identity/prove-sdk-server-go

# Ensure you import the SDK in your code like this:
import (
	provesdkservergo "github.com/prove-identity/prove-sdk-server-go"
	"github.com/prove-identity/prove-sdk-server-go/models/components"
)

Implement Prove Identity Manager

1

Enroll Identity for Monitoring

Use the Enroll Identity endpoint to enroll a single customer for monitoring:
// Enroll a single identity for monitoring
rspEnrollIdentity, err := client.IdentityManager.V3EnrollIdentity(ctx &components.V3EnrollIdentityRequest{
  PhoneNumber: "2001004031",
  ClientCustomerId: provesdkservergo.String("customer-123"),
})
if err != nil {
  return fmt.Errorf("error creating identity: %w", err)
}
The function returns:
  • identityId: a unique Prove-generated identifier for the enrolled identity.
  • success: if true, the request was successful and the identity was created.
2

Perform Batch Enrollment (Optional)

For bulk operations, use the Batch Enroll Identities endpoint to enroll up to 100 customers at once:
// Enroll multiple identities in a batch
identities := []components.IdentityItem{
  {
    PhoneNumber: "2001004031",
    ClientCustomerId: provesdkservergo.String("customer-123"),
  },
  {
    PhoneNumber: "2001004035", 
    ClientCustomerId: provesdkservergo.String("customer-124"),
  },
}

rspBatchEnroll, err := client.IdentityManager.V3BatchEnrollIdentities(ctx, &components.V3BatchEnrollIdentitiesRequest{
  Identities: identities,
})
if err != nil {
  return fmt.Errorf("error batch enrolling identities: %w", err)
}

​
Webhook notifications

Webhooks are the method by which Prove sends risk change events. Webhook integration is necessary to receive change notifications for enrolled consumers. Here’s how to get these webhook notifications up and running:
1

Access the Portal

Login to the Portal.
2

Find Your Project

Navigate to your Identity Manager project.
3

Open Webhook Configuration

Using the Configure tab, select the Configure button next to the Sandbox webhook.
If you would like a sample URL to test, you can use Webhook.site to generate a unique URL for testing.
Screenshot of the webhook configuration screen in the Prove Portal, showing where to enter the webhook URL.
4

Enter Webhook Endpoint URL

Enter your webhook endpoint URL in the provided field.
5

Save and Test Webhook

Select Save and Test Webhook. This saves your configuration and sends a test webhook to your endpoint.
6

Authenticate Webhook

The webhook URL requires authentication using Prove’s secret for JSON Web Token (JWT). The JWT is a synchronous token using the HS256 algorithm.This secret is used to sign the JWT token that Prove sends with the webhook notifications. Add the appropriate code snippet from the webhook configuration to your server-side implementation, replacing whsec_your_secret with the secret provided by the Portal.
The secret value is autogenerated when the appropriate URL is entered and you select Save and Test Webhook or Configure Webhook.
7

Parse the Webhook Payload

The following snippet shows an example of each type of change event you could receive from Prove. Each notification comes as an array of event objects.

Access Production

Once you have successfully tested the webhook and finished your implementation, test your production webhook URL. This will allow you to receive notifications for live events.
Why Am I Not Receiving Notifications?
  • Prove will not send retroactive notifications that occur before the webhook is configured.
  • Deactivated identities will not generate webhook notifications until reactivated.
  • A phone number change, disconnect, or moved out of coverage event will result in no further notifications for that identity. In the event your customer provides an updated phone number, we’d recommend completing verification for this number and then enrolling the updated phone number.

Test your Prove implementation

Next, reference the Sandbox test scenarios to test users and simulate different behaviors encountered in production.
