# Verify a PAN with Liquify

POST https://a7.liquifyfin-uat.in/v1/pan-verifications
Content-Type: application/json

Liquify verifies the PAN with its KYC providers. A PAN Liquify already verified is answered
from Liquify's own record (`reused: true`) and no provider is called. Pass the returned
`verification_id` to `POST /v1/customers`.


Reference: https://docs.liquifyfin.in/api-reference/liquify-vendor-api/customer-onboarding/verify-pan

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — The token Liquify issued your organisation. Shown once; rotate it from Liquify if it is exposed.

## Request

### Body (application/json)

This endpoint expects a PanVerificationRequest.

- `pan` (string, required)

## Response

### 200

The verification.

- `data` (PanVerification, required)
- `meta` (Meta, required)

## Errors

### 400 Bad Request Error

`VALIDATION_FAILED` — the request breaks a rule in this spec.

- `type` (string, required) — `about:blank` — `code` carries the meaning.
- `title` (string, required)
- `status` (integer, required)
- `detail` (string, optional)
- `instance` (string, optional)
- `code` (string, optional)
- `errors` (list of string, optional) — One entry per field that failed validation.
- `request_id` (string, optional) — Quote it to Liquify support.
- `trace_id` (string, optional)

### 401 Unauthorized Error

`AUTH_INVALID_TOKEN` — no token, an unknown token, or your access is switched off.

- `type` (string, required) — `about:blank` — `code` carries the meaning.
- `title` (string, required)
- `status` (integer, required)
- `detail` (string, optional)
- `instance` (string, optional)
- `code` (string, optional)
- `errors` (list of string, optional) — One entry per field that failed validation.
- `request_id` (string, optional) — Quote it to Liquify support.
- `trace_id` (string, optional)

### 403 Forbidden Error

`ACCESS_DENIED` — this API is not switched on for you; `CONSENT_REQUIRED` — the customer has not granted (or withdrew) a purpose this call needs.

- `type` (string, required) — `about:blank` — `code` carries the meaning.
- `title` (string, required)
- `status` (integer, required)
- `detail` (string, optional)
- `instance` (string, optional)
- `code` (string, optional)
- `errors` (list of string, optional) — One entry per field that failed validation.
- `request_id` (string, optional) — Quote it to Liquify support.
- `trace_id` (string, optional)

### 422 Unprocessable Entity Error

`KYC_REQUIRED` — not an individual's PAN, under 18, or the PAN did not verify; `MF_SYNC_CONTACT_NOT_LINKED` — the folios are registered to another e-mail or mobile.

- `type` (string, required) — `about:blank` — `code` carries the meaning.
- `title` (string, required)
- `status` (integer, required)
- `detail` (string, optional)
- `instance` (string, optional)
- `code` (string, optional)
- `errors` (list of string, optional) — One entry per field that failed validation.
- `request_id` (string, optional) — Quote it to Liquify support.
- `trace_id` (string, optional)

### 429 Too Many Requests Error

Rate limited. Liquify's limits answer a problem (`MF_SYNC_RATE_LIMITED` is the customer's sync cooldown); the edge's per-caller limit answers with NO body. Either way, wait `Retry-After` seconds.

- `type` (string, required) — `about:blank` — `code` carries the meaning.
- `title` (string, required)
- `status` (integer, required)
- `detail` (string, optional)
- `instance` (string, optional)
- `code` (string, optional)
- `errors` (list of string, optional) — One entry per field that failed validation.
- `request_id` (string, optional) — Quote it to Liquify support.
- `trace_id` (string, optional)

### 503 Service Unavailable Error

`PROVIDER_UNAVAILABLE` / `MF_SYNC_PROVIDER_UNAVAILABLE` — a provider did not answer. Retry after `Retry-After` seconds.

- `type` (string, required) — `about:blank` — `code` carries the meaning.
- `title` (string, required)
- `status` (integer, required)
- `detail` (string, optional)
- `instance` (string, optional)
- `code` (string, optional)
- `errors` (list of string, optional) — One entry per field that failed validation.
- `request_id` (string, optional) — Quote it to Liquify support.
- `trace_id` (string, optional)

## Types

### PanVerification

- `verification_id` (string, required) — What `POST /v1/customers` takes.
- `valid` (boolean, required)
- `reused` (boolean, required) — Liquify already held a valid verification of this PAN; no provider was called.
- `individual` (boolean, optional, nullable)
- `name_as_per_pan` (string, optional, nullable)
- `dob` (date, optional, nullable)
- `gender` (enum, optional)
  - Allowed values: `M`, `F`, `T`
- `category` (string, optional, nullable)

### Meta

- `request_id` (string, required) — Ties a call to Liquify's records; quote it to support.
- `ts` (datetime, required)
