Embeddable Widgets

A drop-in React component that captures a user's ID document plus a live anti-spoofing selfie and submits it to YeboVerify.

Overview

This is the full extent of widget support today:

• React — @yeboverify/react (not published to npm yet — install via npm install github:omegathesecond/yeboverify-react), a single <YeboVerifyWidget /> component. It renders ID front/back capture and a live-camera liveness challenge (or a single-shot selfie), then submits directly to POST /v1/verify.

Not implemented

There is no vanilla-JS SDK, no CDN bundle (cdn.yeboverify.com does not exist), no Vue component, and no framework-agnostic Web Component — despite what this page used to say. The React widget itself has no theme, language, borderRadius, mode, showProgress, allowRetry, or metadata config, no YeboVerify.init()/global object, no event system (.on/.off), and no start() / destroy() / getStatus() / setConfig() methods — it is one React component with the fixed prop surface below. If you need one of these, contact support@yeboverify.com — don't rely on any prop or API not documented on this page; an unknown prop is silently ignored, not honored.

Installation

npm install github:omegathesecond/yeboverify-react

Not published to npm yet — the package installs from GitHub, but its package.json name is @yeboverify/react, so it resolves in node_modules and imports exactly as shown below. react and react-dom (≥ 17) are peer dependencies.

Quick Start

import { YeboVerifyWidget } from '@yeboverify/react';

export function VerifyScreen() {
  return (
    <YeboVerifyWidget
      apiKey="yvk_your_api_key"
      externalRef={currentUser.id}
      documentType="National ID"
      onSubmit={(verificationId) => {
        console.log('Submitted:', verificationId);
      }}
      onResult={(result) => {
        if (result.decision === 'approved') unlockAccess();
      }}
      onError={(err) => toast.error(err.message)}
    />
  );
}

The widget renders the full ID + selfie capture flow itself and submits it to POST /v1/verify for you — there is no containerId/DOM-mount API, because it's a normal React component, not a script-tag widget with its own runtime.

Browser security: the widget calls the API directly with the apiKey you pass, so that key ships in your client-side JS bundle. Use a key scoped for the verify endpoint — never expose a full-privilege secret key in the browser.

Active Liveness (anti-spoofing)

By default (liveness={true}) the selfie step is a live-camera challenge, not a single photo upload. The widget:

1. Opens the front camera via getUserMedia.
2. Captures a neutral frame.
3. Prompts a randomized action — blink, smile, turn left, or turn right — and captures a second frame.
4. Submits both frames plus the challenge label with the verification.

A business with requireLiveness enabled cannot auto-approve a submission that arrives without these frames.

Pass liveness={false} to fall back to a single-shot selfie photo upload. Such submissions can never auto-approve for a requireLiveness business.

Live capture needs a secure context (HTTPS or localhost) and camera permission. If the camera is unavailable or access is denied, the widget surfaces the failure rather than silently submitting without liveness.

Props Reference

Prop	Type	Default	Description
apiKey	string	required	Your YeboVerify API key
baseUrl	string	'https://api.yeboverify.com'	API base URL — set to https://dev-api.yeboverify.com for dev
externalRef	string	-	Your reference ID (e.g. user ID)
documentType	string	'National ID'	e.g. "National ID", "Passport"
liveness	boolean	true	Active anti-spoofing liveness capture — see above
requireIdBack	boolean	false	Also capture the back of the ID document
showBack	boolean	-	Show a back button
onSubmit	(verificationId: string) => void	-	Called once the documents are accepted for processing
onResult	(result: VerificationResult) => void	-	Only fires if a result is polled or pushed back into the widget — treat your server-side webhook as the source of truth, not this callback
onError	(error: Error) => void	-	Called on error
primaryColor	string	'#16a34a'	Widget accent color
className	string	-	Custom container class

Any prop not in this table (theme, language, borderRadius, mode, showProgress, allowRetry, metadata, onCancel, onReady, containerId, ...) does not exist on this component. Passing one does nothing — same as any unrecognized prop on any React component — it is not validated or rejected.

VerificationResult

interface VerificationResult {
  verificationId: string;
  status: 'pending' | 'processing' | 'completed' | 'failed' | 'needs_review';
  decision?: 'approved' | 'rejected' | 'needs_review' | null;
  confidence?: 'high' | 'medium' | 'low' | null;
  faceScore?: number | null;
  extractedData?: {
    surname?: string;
    names?: string;
    dateOfBirth?: string;
    idNumber?: string;
    documentType?: string;
  } | null;
}

onResult only fires if a result is pushed or polled back into the widget — verify the outcome server-side via webhook, never trust a client-side callback alone. See SDKs & Libraries for webhook signature verification with @yeboverify/node, and Webhooks for the event payloads.

Company (KYB) verification is not available as a widget

@yeboverify/react deliberately does not support company/KYB verification:

• This widget's apiKey is passed straight into a browser-side fetch call and ships in your page's JS bundle. That's an acceptable trust model for one individual submitting their own ID + selfie, but KYB carries registration numbers, tax IDs, director PII, and AML-screening billing — never appropriate to drive from a public, unauthenticated browser context.
• The KYB signatory's own individual identity check doesn't go through this widget either. Creating a company verification server-side returns a verifyUrl pointing at the separate hosted flow at verify.yeboverify.com — send the signatory there directly. See White-Label Branding for how that hosted flow is themed.

Styling

The only visual customization is primaryColor — it sets the header background, upload-dropzone accent, and buttons. There is no CSS-variable theming API, no dark-mode prop, and no border-radius control; the widget ships as a fixed white card with rounded corners and a light theme only.
