What is the Digilocker API?
Digilocker is an online interface that retrieves officially valid documents (OVDs) and other important documents from the Government of India’s digital service. The use of digilocker is beneficial in multiple aspects as it provides access to already verified documents, making the process quick and efficient, often occurring within seconds.
How does Digilocker API help me?
The Digilocker API integration streamlines the process of document verification and access, enhancing efficiency and speed. By connecting with Digi Locker, businesses and government agencies can directly access and verify officially valid documents (OVDs) stored in the user’s DigiLocker account. This eliminates the need for physical document submission and manual verification, making processes like application submissions, identity verification, and service delivery faster and more convenient. Furthermore, since DigiLocker is a government-approved platform, the documents retrieved are already authenticated, reducing the risk of fraud.
How Does Digilocker API work?
Customers are redirected to a Digilocker page. There they provide their Aadhaar number, using which an OTP is generated on the linked number. They are then presented with a consent popup, and on agreeing to that, the API then fetches the required documents or information from Digilocker. This can be used for further processing. Detailed Digilocker API documentation is provided as well.
How accurate is the process?
