No status page, changelog, SDK, service agreement or subprocessor list was found in public, and access starts with a paid plan bought by a person.\n\n**Entrust Identity Verification (formerly Onfido).** The v3.6 API has a public MIT OpenAPI file, server libraries in five languages, OAuth client credentials with scopes and an 18-month deprecation notice. Entrust's own site answered 403, so terms, privacy notice, pricing and security.txt weren't read. There is no idempotency key, and live tokens need a Dashboard account with billing details.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### ComplyAdvantage\n\n1. Exchange the access key and secret at `POST /v3/token` for a bearer token. It lasts 24 hours and can't be refreshed, so request a new one before expiry\n2. Ask for a credential with only the permissions the task needs. Permissions can't be edited later, and each reference page names the ones a call requires\n3. Create a screening configuration first and keep its `configuration_identifier`. Creating and screening a customer needs it\n4. Give each customer a unique external identifier. A concurrent request for the same identifier returns 409 with a pointer to the first workflow\n5. Read `Ratelimit-Remaining` and `Ratelimit-Reset` on every response. A 429 body is only `API rate limit exceeded`\n\n### Entrust Identity Verification (formerly Onfido)\n\n1. Use the regional host for the account (api.eu, api.us or api.ca.onfido.com/v3.6). v3.6 has no default region\n2. Prefer an OAuth client with only the scopes the task needs over a live API token, and refresh the 60-minute access token\n3. Stay under 400 requests a minute live and 120 in sandbox, and back off on a 429 `rate_limit` error\n4. Check before retrying a POST. There is no idempotency key, so a retry can create a second applicant or check\n5. Treat webhook events as duplicates or out of order, and verify `X-SHA2-Signature` over the raw body\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, ComplyAdvantage or Entrust Identity Verification (formerly Onfido)?\n\nEntrust Identity Verification (formerly Onfido) scores 62.1 (B) on agent readiness against ComplyAdvantage's 52.6 (D), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. ComplyAdvantage leads on security \u0026 auth.\n\n### Do ComplyAdvantage and Entrust Identity Verification (formerly Onfido) need an API key?\n\nComplyAdvantage uses an OAuth sign-in. Entrust Identity Verification (formerly Onfido) takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call ComplyAdvantage and Entrust Identity Verification (formerly Onfido) without installing anything?\n\nComplyAdvantage has a hosted endpoint at https://api.mesh.complyadvantage.com.
