As an alternative to receiving a callback from IDkollen on successful or failed requests, you can use the GET /freja/auth/{{id}} endpoint to check the status of an auth request.

NOTE: This endpoint is rate limited to one request per second.

GET /v3/freja/auth/{{id}}
Authorization: Basic ${ base64(accountId + ':' + secretKey) }

This endpoint will respond with a HTTP status of 404 if the authentication session has expired.

The status of an authentication can be either one of: PENDING, COMPLETED or FAILED.

The error may be one of the following values:

CodeDescription

INVALID_IDThe ID has expired or is otherwise invalid.
INTERNAL_ERRORAn internal error occurred causing the authentication to fail.
SESSION_TIMEOUTThe authentication expired or timed out.
UNSUPPORTED_CLIENTThe client used for the authentication is not supported.

New error codes may be added in the future without prior notice. The partner should therefore handle unknown error codes in their implementations.
