Introduction

Identity is an authentication service provided by Ace Data Cloud for real-name verification of ID cards, bank cards, and phone numbers. Through the unified API of Ace Data Cloud, you can quickly call Identity using cURL to perform functions such as ID card OCR, ID card verification, bank card verification, and phone number verification.

Prerequisites

  • Have an Ace Data Cloud account and obtain an API Token
  • Terminal environment with cURL installed

Basic Usage

The main endpoint for calling the Identity API is:
POST https://api.acedata.cloud/identity/idcard/ocr
Complete cURL command example:
curl -X POST https://api.acedata.cloud/identity/idcard/ocr \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"image_url": "https://example.com/idcard-front.jpg"}'
Please replace YOUR_API_TOKEN with the actual Token you obtained from the Ace Data Cloud platform.

Response Example

A successful call returns data in JSON format, for example:
