With the new version of the Match API, we’re moving from exact matching to a more flexible, score-based matching system using Yaro-Winkler fuzzy logic. Instead of a binary true/false result, the API now returns a match score from 0 to 100. This allows for a nuanced view of matching results, giving you more control over what you consider a successful match. The higher the score, the closer the match, and you’ll have the flexibility to interpret these scores in a way that best suits your business needs. 

With this new model, we anticipate higher match rates, which will be invaluable for identity verification while reducing false negatives and enhancing customer onboarding experiences.

Run in Postman

To begin using the Vodafone workspace in Postman, please follow the steps below to create a set of credentials that can be used with our sandbox collections:

• Register an account on https://developer.vodafone.com and create a sandbox app for the APIs that you are interested in.
• Use the Client Key and Secret from your sandbox app to populate the relating variables in the "Sandbox Credentials" environment group in Postman.
• These API use a three-legged OAuth flow. A three-legged OAuth process involves three parties: the end-user (or resource owner), the client (the third-party application), and the server (or authorization server). 
• First call the authorize endpoint to get an authorization code. Your client credentials will be taken from the environment variables.
• You need to call the authorize end-point for each Identity API in the CAMARA portfolio as the product scope is set in the request body of the authorize call.
• Call the token endpoint to exchange the authorization code for a bearer token that is used in the API resource endpoint.
• The last bearer token and trace ID will be stored in collection variables associated with the API solution that you have chosen.
• You can use these collections as read-only or create a fork into your own personal workspace to edit the details.
