Server side integration

First steps

There are few things before you get started...

📘
Prerequisites for integrating ZealiD:

Have ZealiD app

Receive your client_id and client_secret

use HMAC_STRING generator to be able to generate hmac_string for Authentication header in your requests

use HMAC_REQUEST to generate and send an authenticated request

Below you can find a couple of different scripts for generating hmac_string or for sending hmac requests

#!/bin/bash
if [ $# -eq 5 ]

    export LC_ALL=C.UTF-8
    clientid=$1

How to use hmac_string generation script

📘
How to:

hmac_string generation script returns to you an hmac string that you need to include in the request Authentication header

hmac_string generation requires the whole request information

For more information about hmac and it's usage please refer to hmac guide

🚧
Be aware!

For all examples we expect you to pass payload as JSON!

Your request is expected to have Content-Type: application/json in headers!

HMAC_STRING value can be different depending if json is sorted or not

We recommend using hmac_string generators to generate hmac_string for API Reference tests

#For [get_token]
./hmac_string.sh "your_client_id" "your_client_secret" "/mediator/api/get_token" "POST" "{\"grant_type\":\"authorization_code\",\"code\":\"HERMES_CODE\",\"redirect_uri\":\"https://example.com\"}"

How to use HMAC request generation script

📘
How to:

HMAC request generation scripts accept input in the same format as hmac_string generators

HMAC request generators actually executes HTTP(S) request with HMAC authentication

🚧
Be ware!

For all examples we expect you to pass payload as JSON!

HMAC_STRING value can be different depending if json is sorted or not

#for [get_token]
./hmac_curl.sh "your_client_id" "your_client_secret" "/mediator/api/get_token" "POST" "{\"grant_type\":\"authorization_code\",\"code\":\"HERMES_CODE\",\"redirect_uri\":\"https://example.com\"}"

#for [get_data]

#for [get_documents]
./hmac_curl.sh "your_client_id" "your_client_secret" "/mediator/api/user/CUSTOMER_ID/documents" "GET" ""

#for [upload]
./hmac_curl.sh "your_client_id" "your_client_secret" "/mediator/api/upload/CUSTOMER_ID" "POST" "{\"content\":\"base64...\",\"digest\":\"sha1...\",\"filename\":\"your_file_name.pdf\"}"

Retrieve your customer data and get ready for signing

To be able to upload, sign or retrieve documents or data, first of all, you need to authenticate yourself as a user

📘
Prerequisites for actions with documents:

Scan QR code with ZealiD app

Retrieve your temporary HERMES_TOKEN

Retrieve your personal data and customer_id

Be aware - you will need this customer_id for actions with documents

Generating authentication QR code

📘
How to:

QR code scanning is initial step of your authentication which helps to map your identity with the help of your device

To be able to scan QR code you need the ZealiD app and successfully pass onboarding steps

🚧
Be aware!

your_client_id - The same client_id as you provide for HMAC authentication

After scanning qrcode and successfully confirming your authentication request you will be redirected and you will receive HERMES_CODE as url parameter

*Make sure you are targeting correct environment!

# NOTE: production environment

# Open in your browser:
curl https://core-hermes.zealid.com/mediator/web_embed/auth_link/start/hermes_orpheus/hermes_orpheus_provider/{your_client_id}



# NOTE: testing environment

# Open in your browser:
curl https://hermes-dev.zealid.com/mediator/web_embed/auth_link/start/hermes_orpheus_dev/hermes_orpheus_dev_provider/{your_client_id}

Steps:
1 - 2. Use the url provided above to GET a template with QR code
3 - 4. While QR code is on your screen - JS in browser is checking request status in server
5 - 7. Scan QR code with Your ZealiD App and confirm request with TouchiD or FaceiD
8. After successful confirmation you will be redirected and in new url you can find code=HERMES_CODE -> This is the HERMES_CODE that you will have to provide in get_token request

Expected response:
https://core-hermes.zealid.com/mediator/web_embed/auth_link/success/OKQQJZuQQWsh-DclxhwZDdo_DCd7LOSaqinIIjA35Ms?code=hermes_code_xHVSIv-A...

You are ready!

📘
Congratulations!

You now have HERMES_CODE which you can use to finish your authentication process and start working with your documents

For further actions please refer to any of these documentations:

DATA API in detail documentation where you can find all API calls explained

API reference if you are more experience user
