initialize
POST/api/v1/zoloz/realid/initialize
The ZOLOZ Real ID initialize API is used to initialize the identity proofing process in ZOLOZ. A unique transaction ID is generated for the identity proofing process and used in all the subsequent interactions with the ZOLOZ server. This API is not idempotent.

Result
Result process logic
For different request results, different actions will be performed. See the following for details:
- If the value of the result.resultStatus is
S
, the ZOLOZ Real ID initialize API is invoked successfully and a unique transaction ID is returned. - If the value of the result.resultStatus is
F
, the invocation of the ZOLOZ Real ID initialize API fails. Check the error code and its message for more information on the possible reasons why.
Common error codes
For the full list of common error codes, see the Common error codes section in the Error handling topic.

The following table shows the possible error codes that are specific for the Real ID initialize API.
resultCode | resultStatus | Description |
SUCCESS | S | The API call is successful. |
