/certify_business - DEPRECATED

❗️
This endpoint will be deprecated as part of the simplification of our KYB workflow. Date TBD.
If you are a new customer starting to build your integration, please keep in mind this step is currently necessary, but you may need to remove from your workflow in the long-term.
If you already have this built into your workflow, please prepare to remove them from your workflow. Once deprecated, the certification step will simply no longer be necessary after KYB has been passed in order to transact.

Most business types require certification after verification to transact, meaning that a business administrator must ascertain and certify that all beneficial owners (there could be 0) have accurate personal information and ownership stakes registered.

To certify a business at this endpoint, the business and all members must have passed verification first, and all beneficial owners must be certified.

Request

Authorization / Authentication

Apps using Access Token Authorization

Use a valid access token in a Authorization: Bearer request header.

See Auth Token Overview for more details.

Apps using ECDSA Authentication

Both authsignature and usersignature headers are required for this request. The usersignature header should be generated with a keypair registered to the user (either registered from the /register endpoint or the /register_wallet endpoint).

See our ECDSA overview for more.

Note - We recently renamed the field auth_handle to app_handle. For backward compatibility, auth_handle is still valid but has been removed from our documentation.
