info:
  title: Persona Accounts Verifications API
  description: 'The Persona API is a configurable identity platform for KYC, KYB, AML, and fraud prevention. It exposes Inquiries, Inquiry Sessions, Accounts, Verifications, Reports, Cases, Transactions, Devices, Documents, Webhooks, Events, Importers, and Workflow Runs.


    All resources follow the JSON:API media type conventions: request and response payloads are wrapped in a top-level `data` object with `type`, `id`, `attributes`, and `relationships` members. Requests are authenticated with a Bearer API key. Two optional headers shape every request: `Persona-Version` pins the API version to a date (e.g. `2023-01-05`), and `Key-Inflection` selects the casing of JSON keys (`camel`, `kebab`, or `snake`). Idempotency is supported via the `Idempotency-Key` header.'
