# Overview

> Verify that your users are real humans using the VerifyYou API

## What you can do

* Register users and request humanness checks.
* Retrieve humanness scores, unique human IDs, and other verification signals.
* Receive webhook events when verification completes, is revoked, or cannot be fulfilled.

## How it works

1. You register a user and specify what data you need (e.g. humanness score, unique human ID, phone verification).
2. The API returns an `invite_url` that you present to the user.
3. The user completes the verification flow on their mobile device.
4. You poll for status or listen for a webhook to know when verification is done.
5. You retrieve and decrypt the verification response to get the results.

## Quick start at a glance

1. Create a service account and API key.
2. Register a user with a data request type.
3. Present the invite URL to the user.
4. Check connection status or listen for webhooks.
5. Decrypt the response to read verification results.
