Web SDK 2.0 API Reference

Setup

setup()

Initialize the SDK before using any components:

import { setup } from '@incodetech/core';

await setup({
  apiURL: string;                                      // Required: API base URL
  token?: string;                                      // Optional: session token (one-shot convenience — delegates to initializeSession)
  customHeaders?: Record<string, string>;
  timeout?: number;                                    // Request timeout (ms)
  wasm?: WasmConfig | false;                           // WASM warmup (see WASM Configuration)
  encryption?: boolean | { mgf1?: 'sha1' | 'sha256' }; // End-to-end encryption (locked at boot)
  hostingApp?: string;                                 // Optional fingerprint hosting-app identifier
});

The canonical activation pattern is two calls — setup({ apiURL }) first, then initializeSession({ token }) once the session token is known. See initializeSession() below. Passing token to setup is a one-shot convenience that delegates to initializeSession internally.

Option Type Required Description
apiURL string API base URL. Omit when every API actor is overridden via .provide() (advanced).
token string Session token. One-shot convenience that delegates to initializeSession({ token, hostingApp }). Prefer the explicit two-call form: setup({ apiURL }) then initializeSession({ token }). The two-call form lets you start setup (including WASM warmup) before the token is known.
customHeaders Record<string, string> Headers to attach to every SDK request.
timeout number Request timeout in milliseconds.
wasm WasmConfig | false WASM warmup. Omit to skip preload (loads lazily on first selfie/ID capture). Pass an object to warm up with CDN defaults plus any overrides. Pass false to explicitly disable. See WASM Configuration.
encryption boolean | { mgf1?: 'sha1' | 'sha256' } Enable end-to-end encryption for SDK traffic. Independent of token — can be enabled before a session token is known. Not a self-serve flag — your Incode account team provisions the environment and gives you the dedicated apiURL and mgf1 scheme. Locked at boot (call reset() to change later) and requires the WASM binary transport. See End-to-End Encryption for the full walkthrough including API-key transmission, MGF1 schemes, and failure modes.
hostingApp string Hosting app identifier forwarded to the fingerprinting service.

createSession()

Create a verification session (call from your backend for production):

import { createSession } from '@incodetech/core/session';

const session = await createSession(apiKey, {
  configurationId: string;   // Required: Flow configuration ID from dashboard
  language?: string;         // Optional: Language code (e.g., 'en-US')
  externalId?: string;       // Optional: Your user reference ID
});

// Returns: { token: string; interviewId: string; ... }

initializeSession()

Activate a session by attaching the token to the HTTP client and pre-loading session-scoped state (feature flags, device fingerprint, analytics flush). Call once you have a session token — typically right after createSession() (or after your backend returns the token).

import { initializeSession } from '@incodetech/core/session';

await initializeSession({
  token: string;            // Required in application code: the session token from createSession()
  hostingApp?: string;      // Optional: hosting-app identifier forwarded to fingerprinting
  signal?: AbortSignal;     // Optional: abort the activation (e.g. on unmount)
});

// Returns: { features, disableIpify, fingerprintSuccess, fingerprintResult }
Option Type Required Description
token string Session token returned by createSession(). Application code should always pass this explicitly.
hostingApp string Hosting-app identifier forwarded to the fingerprinting service.
signal AbortSignal Cancellation signal — useful for unmount-aborts in single-page apps.

Results are cached per token: calling initializeSession again with the same token is a no-op; calling with a different token resets the cache and re-initializes from scratch. Idempotent across concurrent callers — a second in-flight call with the same arguments awaits the first.

Components

<incode-flow>

Complete verification flow as a standard Web Component.

// Side-effect import registers the custom element
import '@incodetech/web/flow';
import '@incodetech/web/flow/styles.css';
Property Type Required Description
config FlowConfig Flow configuration object
onFinish (result?: FinishStatus) => void Called when flow completes
onError (error: string | undefined, errorCode?: number) => void Called when an error occurs

FlowConfig

apiURL is configured via setup(), not in FlowConfig.

Property Type Required Description
token string Session token from createSession() (token-based variant)
apiKey (or clientId) + configurationId string ✅ (alt) Self-loading variant — component creates its own session. Avoid in production.
lang string Language code (e.g. 'en-US')
enableHome boolean Show the SDK's built-in home screen
authHint string QR/auth hint when re-entering a flow
urlUuid string QR anti-phishing token from URL
wasmConfig WasmConfig WASM configuration for ML features
spinnerConfig SpinnerConfig Loading spinner customization
disableDashboardTheme boolean Disable dashboard theme
onFlowEvent (event: FlowEvent) => void Curated flow milestones
onModuleLoading (moduleKey: string) => void Called when module starts loading
onModuleLoaded (moduleKey: string) => void Called when module finishes loading
onWasmWarmup (pipelines: string[]) => void Called when WASM warmup begins
onUrlUuidRefreshed (urlUuid: string) => void New urlUuid available

Other components

The SDK ships 20+ web components in addition to IncodeFlow — selfie, ID capture, phone, email, signature, consent, eKYC/eKYB orchestrators, and more. Rather than duplicate them here, see:

Headless Managers

Every module ships a corresponding createXxxManager factory for headless integrations. The full catalog (manager name, core import, what it does) lives in Individual Modules; detailed lifecycle, state, and method documentation for each manager lives in Headless Mode.

For the four most-used headless APIs, see:
