Smile API

Smile API provides real-time, user-authorized access to verified identity, employment, and financial data through an API. It consolidates information from government, HR and payroll systems, gig economy platforms, and documents users submit. Smile Wink links payroll, government, or HR accounts to retrieve employment and income data. Smile Snap extracts and validates information from identity documents, income statements, photographed IDs, PDFs, and scanned records. Smile Signals combines telecom, behavioral, and email signals for screening, while Smile Flip supports identity checks, face matching, document capture, form autofill, and configurable onboarding workflows. The API uses REST, JSON, and HTTPS, with an OpenAPI specification and Postman collection in its developer resources. New accounts can test in a sandbox using mock data; production access requires approval and is billable. Users can revoke data access, and Smile says the information is deleted through its Revoke API. The company says it complies with the Philippines Data Privacy Act of 2012 and supports data portability rights under Section 18. A free sandbox is listed, while production pricing is available on request.
