Using the PingOne REST API

About this task

To configure PingOne Verify with the PingOne REST API:

Steps

  1. Create your theme in PingOne Branding and themes to brand the PingOne Verify web experience for your end users.

  2. (Optional) Use language localization to configure one or more languages and modify the PingOne Verify text fields that are presented to end users.

  3. (Optional) If you enabled one-time passcode (OTP) through phone or email verification in your policy, create notification templates.

  4. Trigger your first Verify transaction:

    1. Read Getting started with the PingOne APIs.

    2. Download the PingOne Postman collection.

    3. Note the variables you must value.

    4. Obtain a PingOne access token.

      Your {{authPath}} environment variable in Postman should begin with auth.pingone. See PingOne API domains to determine the correct {{authPath}} for your region. Note that nothing trails the domain in the {{authPath}} variable.

    5. Create a new Verify transaction with the Create Verify Transaction API call.

      Your \{{apiPath}} environment variable in Postman should begin with api.pingone. See PingOne API domains to determine the correct \{{apiPath}} for your region. Note that the trailing /v1 is required (for example, api.pingone.com/v1).

      For more information, see PingOne API requests.
