Each environment has one unscoped key, no idempotency keys were found, and the only published terms are undated and read as website terms.\n\n**Sumsub.** Per-token permissions, an IP allowlist, HMAC-signed requests and a public OpenAPI spec with Markdown docs suit an agent working on verification cases. No idempotency keys or Retry-After guidance were found, there is no server SDK, and production access needs a browser signup, a bank card and Sumsub's review of the integration.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### ComplyCube\n\n1. Send the key bare in the `Authorization` header, with no Bearer prefix. Keys start `test_` or `live_`\n2. Create a client first, then documents or live photos for it, then `POST /v1/checks` with the client and upload IDs\n3. Stay under 10 requests a second live and 5 in the sandbox. On 429, back off exponentially with jitter, starting at 30 seconds\n4. A badly formed filter returns 200 with no results, so check filter names before trusting an empty list\n5. Checks are asynchronous. Subscribe to webhooks, verify the `ComplyCube-Signature` HMAC-SHA256 header, and expect duplicate and out-of-order events\n\n### Sumsub\n\n1. Sign every request. X-App-Access-Sig is the lowercase hex HMAC-SHA256 of timestamp, uppercase method, path with query and raw body, and the timestamp must be within one minute of server time\n2. Use a sandbox token (prefix sbx) for agent work. Sandbox and production tokens are separate, and Sumsub's own skills refuse any other prefix\n3. Stay under 300 GET and 50 POST requests per 5 seconds, and under 500 new applicants per 24 hours in Sandbox\n4. Token permissions can't be edited after creation. Generate a new token with the narrower set and delete the old one\n5. Subscribe to the applicantReviewed webhook for results and verify x-payload-digest against the raw body before trusting it\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, ComplyCube or Sumsub?\n\nSumsub scores 68.5 (B) on agent readiness against ComplyCube's 63.7 (B), and leads in 2 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Do ComplyCube and Sumsub need an API key?\n\nComplyCube needs an API key.
