Getting Started

This guide will help you set up your first age verification session with Bouncer.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

1. A Bouncer organization account
   If you don't have an account yet, register or log in to the Bouncer Portal.
2. An API token (see API Tokens)

Integration Overview

Bouncer provides a simple, redirect-based age verification flow:

Your App → Create Session → Redirect User → Bouncer Verification → Redirect Back → Check Result

Quick Start

Step 1: Create a Session

Use the Create Session API to start a new verification session. Provide:

• age_target: The minimum age to verify (e.g., 18)
• redirect_url: Where the user goes after completing verification

Step 2: Redirect User

Redirect your user to the verify_url returned in the API response. The user will:

1. See your organization's branded verification page
2. Complete a quick liveness check (~3-5 seconds)
3. If required, scan their ID document
4. Be sent back to your redirect_url

Step 3: Check Result

Use the Get Session Status API to check if the verification succeeded.

The success field will be:

• true — User passed verification
• false — User failed verification
• null — Verification still in progress
