Introduction

IDkollen provides a JSON/REST API for authenticating and signing with MitID.

The API is only accessible with SSL and a unique key provided by IDkollen. The key is private and should not be shared with a third party. The API should only be called from a server application, not directly from the client.

When signing up you will receive API keys for IDKollens staging and live environment.

Usage flow​

  1. The user initiates an authentication or sign via the partner's interface.
  2. The partner calls IDkollen's API with the secret key to get the login link or sign link to MitID.
  3. The partner sends the login link or sign link to the end user to use to authenticate themselves or sign with.
  4. Once the end user has authenticated themselves, the user will be redirected to a redirect URL provided to IDkollen by you, with a code.
  5. The partner uses the code to verify the end user's credentials with or get the result of the signing with.
  6. IDkollen will respond with the end user's credentials or sign result.

Authentication​

To initiate requests to the API a secret key is needed. To request a secret key, contact support@idkollen.se. All API endpoints are authenticated using Basic Auth, where the "username" is the API key (account ID) and the "password" is the secret key.

Authorization: Basic ${ base64(accountId + ':' + secretKey) }
