The identities endpoint is used to retrieve the underlying identity (PII) of an Entity. The Identity endpoint requires an Entity to have at least a name and phone number.

For an active entity or entities with a matched identity (verification.identity.matched) the identity endpoint will return a single identity with the PII.

For all other entities the identity endpoint could return multiple identities as the provided PII was not enough to disambiguate and match a single identity.

The Identity endpoint is restricted to most teams. Contact your Method CSM for more information.

The Identity endpoint is available as a:
