Overview
IDkollen provides a JSON/REST API for electronic identity verification, authentication, and signing across the Nordics and beyond.
The API is only accessible over TLS/SSL using a unique key pair provided by IDkollen. Keys are private and must not be shared with third parties. All requests must originate from a server application — never directly from a client.
When signing up you will receive API keys for IDkollen's staging and live environments.
| Environment | URL | Callback IP |
|---|---|---|
| Live | https://api.idkollen.se | 13.53.114.219 13.48.243.11 |
| Staging | https://stgapi.idkollen.se | 13.53.56.116 13.53.92.159 |
Authentication
All API endpoints use Basic Auth, where the username is your account ID and the password is your secret key.
Authorization: Basic ${ base64(accountId + ':' + secretKey) }
If you manage multiple accounts, you can use so called "master keys" to manage all of them with one set of credentials.
To request credentials, contact support@idkollen.se.
