Here are the new features and improvements we are delivering in November. *** ## Unit API launch New feature Starting November 4, 2026, the **Unit API** lets you call identity verification capabilities **one at a time**. You can attach ID OCR, face comparison, government record verification, and more directly to your service without going through the Liveform submission flow. * One call returns one result. No submission is created. * Every call is **synchronous**. You receive the result in the response, and there are no webhooks. * Credits are deducted only for calls that produce a result. Calls that fail with an error are not charged. > [!NOTE] > > **Existing customers do not need to take any action.** Liveform and the existing REST API and add-ons keep the same behavior, endpoints, and API keys. Use the Unit API only in the projects that need it. ### Available APIs All 14 APIs are available in every region. | Image and text analysis | What it does | | - | - | | [ID-OCR](https://developers.argosidentity.com/en/idcheck/unit-api/id-ocr.md) | Recognizes the ID type and reads the printed fields | | [ID-LIVE](https://developers.argosidentity.com/en/idcheck/unit-api/id-live.md) | Checks whether an ID image was captured from a physical document | | [FACE-COM](https://developers.argosidentity.com/en/idcheck/unit-api/face-com.md) | Compares two faces to see whether they are the same person | | [FACE-LIVE-PSV](https://developers.argosidentity.com/en/idcheck/unit-api/face-live-psv.md) | Checks whether a single selfie was captured from a live person | | [TXT-FZ-MAT](https://developers.argosidentity.com/en/idcheck/unit-api/txt-fz-mat.md) | Measures how similar two names are | | Government and bank lookup | What it does | Source | | - | - | - | | [GC-KOR-NID](https://developers.argosidentity.com/en/idcheck/unit-api/gc-kor-nid.md) | Korean Resident Registration Card verification | Ministry of the Interior and Safety | | [GC-KOR-DRV](https://developers.argosidentity.com/en/idcheck/unit-api/gc-kor-drv.md) | Korean driver's license verification | Korean National Police Agency | | [GC-KOR-PASS](https://developers.argosidentity.com/en/idcheck/unit-api/gc-kor-pass.md) | Korean passport verification | Ministry of Foreign Affairs | | [GC-KOR-ARC](https://developers.argosidentity.com/en/idcheck/unit-api/gc-kor-arc.md) | Korean Alien Registration Card verification | Ministry of Justice | | [GC-KOR-FPS](https://developers.argosidentity.com/en/idcheck/unit-api/gc-kor-fps.md) | Foreigner stay status check | Ministry of Justice | | [GC-KOR-BRS](https://developers.argosidentity.com/en/idcheck/unit-api/gc-kor-brs.md) | Business registration status lookup | National Tax Service | | [GC-KOR-BIV](https://developers.argosidentity.com/en/idcheck/unit-api/gc-kor-biv.md) | Business registration verification | National Tax Service | | [GC-MEX-CURP](https://developers.argosidentity.com/en/idcheck/unit-api/gc-mex-curp.md) | Mexican CURP lookup | RENAPO | | [BANK-KOR-AON](https://developers.argosidentity.com/en/idcheck/unit-api/bank-kor-aon.md) | Account holder name lookup | Banks | Image and text analysis APIs return scores and measurements only; you decide the pass threshold. Government and bank lookup APIs summarize the authority's answer as `verdict` and `verdictReason`. ### Getting started 1. Copy the key from **Unit API > Unit API key** in the dashboard. The key is issued automatically when a project is created and requires the Member role or higher. 2. Pick an API in **API Test**, run it, and check the result and the cURL example. 3. Call `POST /v1/units/{api}` on the host for your project's region. Send the key in the `x-api-key` header. | Region | Host | | - | - | | US | `https://client-api.argosidentity.com` | | KR | `https://kr.client-api.argosidentity.com` | > [!WARNING] > > The Unit API key is different from the Liveform API key and the add-on API key, and it works only on the host for your project's region. **Emergency stop** in project settings does not apply to Unit API calls. If the key is exposed or misuse is suspected, an Owner or Leader should reissue the key; the previous key is revoked immediately. ### Billing and usage limits * **Only calls that produce a result are charged.** A call where the authority answers with a mismatch (`MISMATCH`) still produced a result and is charged. Error calls with a non-`200` HTTP status are not charged. * Calls run from the dashboard API Test are charged under the same rules. * Trial projects are not charged but are limited to **10 calls per month**, including errors. The limit resets on the 1st of each month at 00:00 UTC. * Per-API prices are listed in [Unit API Getting Started — Billing](https://developers.argosidentity.com/en/idcheck/unit-api/overview.md#billing) and in the dashboard **API Test**. ### Data retention * **Request and response bodies are not stored.** Save the result together with `txId` in your system as soon as you receive the response. * Call records (time, API, result, error code, credits, executor, `referenceId`) are kept for 3 years and are available in the dashboard call history. * [Unit API Getting Started](https://developers.argosidentity.com/en/idcheck/unit-api/overview.md) developer guide * [Errors and retries](https://developers.argosidentity.com/en/idcheck/unit-api/errors.md) developer guide * [Unit API Reference](https://client-api.argosidentity.com/docs#en/description/introduction) request and response specs, code samples per language, OpenAPI spec file *** ## Unit API menu in the dashboard New feature A **Unit API** menu has been added at the bottom of the project's left-hand menu. You can run Unit APIs without writing code and manage all call history and keys for the project. | Feature | Description | Role | | - | - | - | | **API Test** | Pick an API, enter values, and run it to see the result, credits deducted, and TX ID, processed exactly like a live call. The request URL and a cURL example are shown before you run | Member or higher | | **Call history** | Live calls and API Test calls listed newest first. Filter by TX ID, API, result, source, and period, and download as CSV | Everyone (including Guest) | | **Unit API key** | Copy the key, view the issuance history, reissue | View and copy: Member or higher; reissue: Owner and Leader | * The project status and usage limits are shown at the top of the screen (Trial projects also see this month's usage and the next reset time). * The CSV includes a `referenceId` column so you can find calls by your own identifier. * [Unit API in the dashboard](https://developers.argosidentity.com/dashboard/en/unit-api.md) dashboard guide *** ## Statistics page redesign — Overall, Submissions, and Unit API tabs Improvement The Statistics page is now split into three tabs. The existing submission statistics are unchanged and live in the **Submissions** tab. | Tab | What you can see | Latest day available | | - | - | - | | **Overall** | Counts and credits for submissions and the Unit API side by side | Yesterday | | **Submissions** | Submission status, approval rate, and credit usage | Yesterday | | **Unit API** | Call count, success rate, credits deducted, and usage per API | Today | * The **Overall** tab splits credits between submissions and the Unit API. Submission counts and Unit API call counts are different units and are not added together; only credits are summed. * The **Unit API** tab shows call count, success rate, credits deducted, and API Test share per API, plus the top 5 API Test executors. A call you just ran takes about 20 seconds to appear. > [!NOTE] > > The Overall and Submissions tabs are aggregated daily, so the previous day's usage appears after 00:00 UTC. Unit API usage from today is available first in the Unit API tab. * [Statistics](https://developers.argosidentity.com/dashboard/en/dashboard.md) dashboard guide *** ARGOS continues to improve its identity verification service for stronger security and a better user experience.
