Speedmap documentation

Verify identities (NIN, BVN, faces, CAC businesses, bank accounts and fraud signals) through one REST API and an MCP server.

View as Markdown

Speedmap is an AI-powered identity verification platform for KYC, KYB, AML and fraud prevention. One API key gives you a single normalized response for every check, whether it is answered by NIMC (through the NIMC-designated verification channel), NIBSS or the CAC register.

Create an account and your workspace starts in test mode: sk_test_ keys return deterministic results for every outcome and are never billed. When you are ready, complete the compliance review and we switch the workspace live.

Every request is tied to a declared purpose, consent is satisfied before anything reaches a provider, and you choose how much personal data leaves the platform. AI assistants get assertions only: a NIN never enters a model's context window.

Base URL

All API requests go to one origin. The key prefix, not the URL, selects test mode or live:

http://localhost:4000

The remote MCP server lives at http://localhost:4000/mcp.

Core concepts

Assertions, not records. Responses lead with status, match and a masked summary. The full normalized record (data) is returned only to full-tier accounts on the REST API. See Response shaping.
Purpose codes. Identity checks carry a reason, one of the 38 NIMC purpose codes. A misdeclared purpose is a licence-level violation, so the list is enforced before a provider is called.
Consent first. Each method has a consent mechanism: your attestation, an in-person selfie, a NINAuth share code, or a Consent Hub request approved by the data subject.
Retries are safe. Send an Idempotency-Key and a retried request returns the original result and is never billed twice.
