VerifyMe Liveness Widget

VerifyMe has a smooth widget which helps you detect biometric spoofing attacks where a replica or imitation is presented to bypass the required identification and authentication steps

How to Generate Widget
Using the VerifyMe CDN-hosted javascript client library, you can install the Liveness widget into your application. You only have to add the script tag to your html document and insert basic configuration parameters and you'll be good to go.
Step 1: Add the Client Javascript Library
Include the script tag just before the end of the closing body tag of your desired html page where you wish to perform the liveness verification.
1
<script src="https://widget.verifyme.ng/inline.js"></script>
Copied!
Step 2: Configure the Javascript Client Library
At this point, you can now create a Liveness widget object by passing in an object containing public key, product code and other fields containing the verification details.
1
new VerifyMePopupSetup({
2
      lastname: "john",
3
      firstname: "doe",
4
      phone: "08128730170",
5
      identityType: "bvn",
6
      identityNumber: "10000000001",
7
      key: "pk_live_ee7569XXXXXXXXXXXX9884a7cfb435",
8
      reference: "<unique_reference>",
9
      widgetType: "LIVENESS",
10
      productCode: "<your product code>",
11
});
Copied!

Step 3: Handle a Successful Liveness Verification
On successful verification, the callback function that you supplied is called by the client library with an object as a parameter. The object contains a status field with a success value
1
callback: function (response) {
2
  if (response.status == 'success') {
3
    // [on success]
4
    // Fetch the liveness verification status using the `response.reference` value
5
  } else {
6
    // [on failed]

  }
