The Identity Documents API allows clients to send documents to Paxos to validate identities during the KYC process. Files can be updated multiple times by re-sending the document type for processing. We currently accept the following file formats: - <code>pdf</code> - <code>jpg</code> - <code>png</code> Steps to upload a document are as follows: 1. Send a <code>PUT</code> request to <code>/identity/identities/{id}/documents</code> to get the upload URL. 1. Send your document to the provided URL via a PUT request. Take the following example using curl: <code>$ curl --upload-file Proof_of_residence.jpg $URI </code> Uploaded document metadata will be available via <code>GET</code> request to <code>/identity/identities/{id}/documents</code>
