  "markdown": "## Overview\n\n**Grade B · 62.1/100 · rank #472 of 1076 · #8 in Identity \u0026 business verification · not agent-ready · confidence medium**\n\n\n## Assessment\n\nThe 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## Facts\n\n| Field | Value |\n| --- | --- |\n| Vendor | Onfido Ltd (Entrust) (https://www.entrust.com/products/identity-verification) |\n| Kind | HTTP API |\n| Category | Identity \u0026 business verification (https://www.anchorterminal.com/categories/identity-verification) |\n| Transport | HTTP |\n| Auth | OAuth or key · API tokens per region and environment (`api_live.`, `api_sandbox.`, with `_us` and `_ca` variants) sent as `Authorization: Token token=\u003ctoken\u003e`, generated in the Dashboard under Developers, API authentication. From v3.6, OAuth client credentials issue 60-minute access tokens, with scopes and a per-application IP allowlist set in the Dashboard. Tokens remain valid until revoked. SDK tokens are separate and scoped to one workflow run. Live checks need billing details on the account (checked 2026-10-14). |\n| Pricing | Paid (Paid) · No price list was readable. Entrust's pricing page answered 403. The UK G-Cloud 14 listing by Onfido Ltd gives £0.43 to £2.12 a transaction and says a free trial with sandbox access is available.

Confidence: medium. Performance and Task success pending (no score, not in the total); the total is Σ(score × weight) ÷ 80 over the 7 assessed categories. \"This run\" is each category's share of the 100 points.\n\n| Category | Weight | This run | Score (0–100) | Points |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% | 20 | 70 | 14.0 |\n| Performance | 10% | pending | pending | n/a |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% | 16.2 | 84 | 13.7 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% | 16.2 | 65 | 10.6 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% | 17.5 | 58 | 10.2 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% | 12.5 | 20 | 2.5 |\n| Task success | 10% | pending | pending | n/a |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% | 8.8 | 58 | 5.1 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust (editorial 52, provenance 87) | 7% | 8.8 | 70 | 6.1 |\n| Negative events | up to −15 | up to −15 | none recorded | 0 |\n| **Total** | | | | **62.1 → B** |\n\n### Why each score\n\n- Reliability 70: Read with the hosted lines and scored on the Public API v3.6. status.onfido.com is a Statuspage with API, Dashboard, Document Verification, Facial Similarity, Watchlist, Webhooks and other components for the EU, US and CA regions (20). Eight incidents between 24 July and 30 September 2026. Two are labelled major and both were short, a Web SDK outage in all regions from 13:21 to 13:45 UTC on 1 September with a postmortem, and the UK eVisa government service down for 26 minutes on 22 September. A faulty deployment rejected valid tokens on the CA Public API from 14:30 to 15:30 UTC on 7 September, labelled minor, and US report processing was delayed for about an hour on 27 July. We scored 15 rather than 20 because a core API was unavailable in one region for an hour (15). Limits have numbers, 400 requests a minute in live (7 a second, burst 14) and 120 in sandbox (15). A 429 returns `rate_limit` with advice to try later. No Retry-After header and no idempotency key on POST were found (5). The UK G-Cloud 14 listing by Onfido Ltd states 99.5 per cent monthly uptime. It is a government framework listing, not a contract term on Entrust's own site, which we couldn't read (5). v3.6 has been generally available since 24 January 2023 (10).\n- Performance: Pending. Latency is measured per call by our probes, which haven't run yet, so this run doesn't score it. Its weight is shared across the assessed categories until the first probe window closes.\n- Schema \u0026 documentation 84: Public OpenAPI 3.0 file for v3.6 in github.com/onfido/onfido-openapi-spec, MIT, with 64 paths and 85 operations (25). llms.txt and a Markdown copy of each docs page (10). Operation descriptions have a median of 60 characters and 20 of 85 are under 40, though the guides explain workflow runs, checks and reports at length (13 of 20). The spec carries 44 enums and typed schemas, with webhook payloads and report breakdowns typed (12 of 15). The API reference documents an error object with `type`, `message` and `fields` and a table of codes per status. The spec itself holds few examples (12 of 15). A versioned path, a written versioning policy and tagged spec releases. The API release notes page has no entry after 27 February 2023 (12 of 15).\n- Agent ergonomics 65: No field selection. Applicant lists take `per_page` up to 500, while workflow run lists have a fixed page size of 20 (12 of 25). `page` and `per_page`, Link headers and `X-Total-Count`, and workflow run filters by status, tags, dates and applicant (16 of 20). Errors carry a type such as `validation_error`, `expired_token` or `geoblocked_request` with a message and field list (18 of 20). No idempotency key on POST. Webhooks are delivered at least once and the docs ask handlers to treat events as idempotent (6 of 20). Official server libraries in Java, Node.js, PHP, Python and Ruby, generated from the spec, with webhook verification built in. A verification still needs an applicant, a capture step by the end user and a check or workflow run (13 of 15).\n- Security \u0026 auth 58: Two credential types. Region-specific API tokens (`api_live.`, `api_sandbox.`) sent as `Authorization: Token token=`, and from v3.6 OAuth client credentials with 60-minute access tokens, scopes and a per-application IP allowlist set in the Dashboard. Tokens stay valid until revoked and the docs advise rotation when staff leave (25 of 30). OAuth scopes allow a narrower credential, sandbox tokens can't manage live webhooks, and applicant deletion is queued with a configurable delay during which the applicant can be restored. No confirmation step for deletes (12 of 20). Responses carry text extracted from identity documents and watchlist hits, with no injection guidance found (3 of 15). Dashboard audit logs exist, must be enabled on the account, and can be pushed with an `audit_log.created` webhook (10 of 15). The G-Cloud listing names ISO/IEC 27001 (accredited 12 September 2023) and SOC 2 Type II. entrust.com/.well-known/security.txt and Entrust's security pages answered 403, and no bug bounty was found (8 of 20).\n- Payments \u0026 pricing 20: Read with the hosted rubric. No x402, MPP or L402 (0). Entrust's pricing page answered 403. The G-Cloud 14 listing by Onfido Ltd gives £0.43 to £2.12 a transaction, a public range rather than a price list (10 of 20). The G-Cloud listing says a free trial with sandbox access exists, and the docs say sandbox requests aren't charged. We couldn't confirm whether a trial needs a card or a sales contact (10 of 20). Tokens are generated in the Dashboard by a person, and live checks need billing details first (0).\n- Task success: Pending. Task success needs the category task suites run through each tool, which haven't run yet, so this run doesn't score it. Its weight is shared across the assessed categories until then. A data provider's data-quality score is published on its listing now and becomes half of this category when it's scored.\n- Maintenance \u0026 community 58: The spec repository was refreshed on 31 August 2026 and tagged v6.2.0. The npm `@onfido/api` 6.2.0 and PyPI `onfido-python` 6.2.0 date from 21 and 22 May 2026 (20). Spec refreshes on 27 and 31 August, but fewer than three dated releases of the API or server libraries in the last 90 days were found (10 of 20). A closed service with a support address and public GitHub repositories. Issue response times weren't sampled (8 of 15). Current official libraries in five languages, regenerated from the spec (15). Libraries are MIT and generated with OpenAPI Generator. CI wasn't checked (5 of 10).\n- Transparency \u0026 trust 70: The OpenAPI spec and the server libraries are MIT. The service terms and the product privacy notice redirect to entrust.com, which answered 403 to every request, so they weren't read (12 of 30 on what we could read). The API reference says EU data is stored in Ireland with backup in Germany, sandbox data isn't processed by third parties, and deleted applicants are queued for deletion after a delay of at least 30 days by recommendation, set through client support (12 of 30). The versioning policy promises at least 18 months' notice before a version is deprecated, sent by email every 30 days and by response headers (18 of 20). Three regional hosts with stated storage locations. No sub-processor list was read (10 of 20).\n\nFix list for a coding agent, everything this grade says the listing lacks, the biggest gain first (15 items): https://www.anchorterminal.com/fixes/entrust-identity-verification.md (JSON https://www.anchorterminal.com/fixes/entrust-identity-verification.json)\n\n### What we couldn't check\n\n- unchecked: www.entrust.com answered 403 to curl and to our reader on every page tried (product page, pricing, terms, the product privacy notice PDF, security.txt). The terms, privacy notice, pricing, sub-processors and security programme are unread. This may mean the listing should be held\n- unchecked: documentation.identity.entrust.com/robots.txt answered 403, so its rules couldn't be read. The docs pages themselves answered normally\n- Whether a new customer can sign up self-serve. dashboard.onfido.com/signup returns a JavaScript app with no readable content\n- The G-Cloud 14 listing dates from 2024, so the price range and uptime figure may be out of date\n- The spec repository tag v6.2.0 is dated 31 August 2026 while the npm and PyPI 6.2.0 releases date from May 2026\n- No official MCP server. Two third-party Onfido servers are in the official MCP registry (io.github.codespar/mcp-onfido, io.usefulapi/onfido) and weren't graded\n\n### Sources\n\n- docs landing page: \u003chttps://documentation.identity.entrust.com/\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n- docs index for agents: \u003chttps://documentation.identity.entrust.com/llms.txt\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n- API v3.6 reference (Markdown): \u003chttps://documentation.identity.entrust.com/api/latest.md\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n- API versioning policy: \u003chttps://documentation.identity.entrust.com/api/api-versioning-policy.md\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n- API release notes: \u003chttps://documentation.identity.entrust.com/api/release-notes.md\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n- quick start guide, tokens and billing: \u003chttps://documentation.identity.entrust.com/getting-started/quick-start-guide.md\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n- OpenAPI spec repository: \u003chttps://github.com/onfido/onfido-openapi-spec\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n- status incidents (JSON): \u003chttps://onfido.statuspage.io/api/v2/incidents.json\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n- status components (JSON): \u003chttps://onfido.statuspage.io/api/v2/components.json\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n- G-Cloud 14 service listing by Onfido Ltd: \u003chttps://www.applytosupply.digitalmarketplace.service.gov.uk/g-cloud-14/services/168785180660845\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n- npm @onfido/api: \u003chttps://registry.npmjs.org/@onfido/api\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n- PyPI onfido-python: \u003chttps://pypi.org/pypi/onfido-python/json\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n- official MCP registry search: \u003chttps://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/v0.1/servers?search=onfido\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n- domain registration: \u003chttps://rdap.verisign.com/com/v1/domain/onfido.com\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n- security.txt (403): \u003chttps://www.entrust.com/.well-known/security.txt\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n\n## Who's behind it (provenance 87/100, checked 2026-10-14)\n\n| Check | Finding | Points |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Legal entity named | Onfido Ltd | 20/20 |\n| Domain age | onfido.com, registered 2013-02-22 (13 years) | 15/15 |\n| Endpoint on the vendor's domain | onfido.com | 15/15 |\n| Terms of service | published, but our reader couldn't read it | 7/10 |\n| Privacy policy | published | 10/10 |\n| Status page | status.onfido.com | 10/10 |\n| Changelog | published | 10/10 |\n| security.txt | could not be fetched | 0/10 |\n\nThe UK G-Cloud 14 listing names ONFIDO LTD as supplier.

The docs moved to documentation.identity.entrust.com.\n\nRDAP for onfido.com gives a registration date of 2013-02-22.\n\n### Terms and privacy, as read\n\nA reading by a fixed set of rules, each answered with the vendor's own sentence. Not legal advice.\n\n**Terms of service** (https://www.entrust.com/terms-and-conditions), read 2026-10-14. Our reader couldn't read it (the page answered HTTP 403 to our reader).\n\n\n**Privacy policy** (https://www.entrust.com/sites/default/files/documentation/licensingandagreements/product-privacy-notice-identity-verification-services.pdf), not read yet.\n\n\n## Live (updated 2026-10-14 09:39 UTC)\n\n- Vendor status page: none, All Systems Operational\n- Always current: https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/live/entrust-identity-verification.json\n\n## Probe metrics\n\nNot measured yet. Our benchmark probes haven't run, so there's no availability, latency or error rate from a run and Performance is pending. Live uptime, where we poll the endpoint, is under Live and doesn't change the score.\n\n## Strengths\n\n- Public OpenAPI 3.0 file for v3.6 (85 operations, MIT) with official libraries in Java, Node.js, PHP, Python and Ruby\n- OAuth client credentials with scopes and a per-application IP allowlist, alongside region-specific API tokens\n- Rate limits stated, 400 requests a minute live and 120 in sandbox, with a free sandbox that returns predetermined results\n- Written versioning policy with at least 18 months' notice before a version is deprecated\n- Webhooks signed with HMAC-SHA256, retried five times over 10 hours and resendable for 30 days\n\n## Weaknesses\n\n- entrust.com answered 403 to every request, so the terms, privacy notice, pricing page and security.txt weren't read\n- No idempotency key on POST and no Retry-After header on 429\n- The API release notes page has no entry after 27 February 2023\n- A faulty deployment rejected valid tokens on the CA Public API for an hour on 7 September 2026\n- Pricing is known only as a range of £0.43 to £2.12 a transaction from a 2024 UK G-Cloud listing\n\n## Before you call it (notes for agents)\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## Connect\n\nInstall:\n\n```bash\npip install onfido-python\n```\n\nThrough letme (picks today, calling later): https://letme.dev/entrust-identity-verification. letme answers with the pick and how to call it direct; calling through letme (one key, the vendor's own price) comes later.

The badge or a plain link to this page verifies the listing, from a page on onfido.com or entrust.com or one of their subdomains, or the README of github.com/onfido/onfido-openapi-spec. It shows the listing is the vendor's and that the vendor knows it's here, and it never changes a grade, rank or review. The vendor sends the page's address to `POST https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/verify` as `{\"slug\": \"entrust-identity-verification\", \"url\": \"…\"}`, or calls the `verify_listing` tool at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp. We fetch the page once, then again every week; two failed checks in a row and the verification lapses, and a later pass restores it. What we check: https://www.anchorterminal.com/builders/index.md#verify\n\nHTML badge:\n\n```html\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/entrust-identity-verification\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https://www.anchorterminal.com/badges/entrust-identity-verification.svg\" alt=\"Entrust Identity Verification (formerly Onfido) on Anchor Terminal\" height=\"20\"\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\n```\n\nMarkdown badge, for a README:\n\n```markdown\n[![Entrust Identity Verification (formerly Onfido) on Anchor Terminal](https://www.anchorterminal.com/badges/entrust-identity-verification.svg)](https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/entrust-identity-verification)\n```\n\nPlain link:\n\n```html\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/entrust-identity-verification\"\u003eEntrust Identity Verification (formerly Onfido) on Anchor Terminal\u003c/a\u003e\n```\n\n## Share this listing\n\nFor the vendor.
