Get an identity-verification link for a person
Returns the person’s hosted identity-verification link — the same canonical link delivered by the idv_link.created webhook and by verification emails, for when you deliver it out-of-band yourself (e.g. you are not subscribed to idv_link.created and verification emails are disabled for your organization). The person is addressed by their stable referenceId, listed as persons[].referenceId on the application and carried on idv_link.created webhook events. Verification sessions are created asynchronously after application submission — this returns 404 until the session exists (react to the idv_link.created webhook or retry). Returns 409 once the person’s verification has settled. Throttled to one in-flight request per person; on 429, retry after the Retry-After header. The returned URL is a one-time credential — do not log it.
