ID.me

ID.me is a digital identity network that provides NIST 800-63-3 IAL2/AAL2 identity verification, single sign-on, and group affiliation (community) verification for government agencies, healthcare, and commercial partners. For developers, ID.me exposes an OpenID Connect and OAuth 2.0 identity provider (authorization code flow with PKCE, plus SAML 2.0 federation), a REST Services API for telecom and document verification, an Applications API, a Document Passback API, and a Shared Signals Framework (SSF) event stream for fraud and verification signals. Native iOS and Android SDKs, a button widget, conversion tracking, and multi-language sample code round out the developer surface, letting relying parties add strong identity proofing and attribute exchange to any application or IAM platform (Okta, Keycloak, Entra, PingOne, AWS Cognito).

ID.me publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Identity, Identity Verification, Authentication, and OpenID Connect.

The ID.me catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

ID.me’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, signup flow, authentication, sandbox, and 22 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Government & Public Sector regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/idme: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you? Prioritized profiling — $2,500 →
