Introduction

The KYC Contract Signal API provides signals that can be used by an application providing an age verification service.

API Scope

The current API implementation is applicable to any mass-market Orange France mobile customer, including SOSH customers.

Subscribe to the API

You get the Authorization header credentials when you register your application on the Orange Developer Console.

API Authentication

HTTPS requests to the REST API are protected with CIBA 3-Legged OAuth.

In short, the API Invoker (e.g. Application Backend or Aggregator) before to request contract signal, needs to request a Three-Legged Access Token from Orange Authorization Server. The process follows the OpenID Connect Client-Initiated Backchannel Authentication (CIBA) flow.

Step 1: request the OAuth authorization code from the user device

The API Invoker provides in the authorization request (/bc_authorize) a login_hint with a valid User identifier together with the application credentials (client_assertion & client_assertion_type) and indicates the Purpose for processing Personal Data. The Orange implementation follows the CAMARA scope definition. The scope must be set to: opendid dpv: . dpv stands for Data Privacy Vocabulary.

Note on JWT usage via client assertion: client_assertion is a JWT used by a client to authenticate itself to an authorization server, while client_assertion_type specifies the type of assertion being used, typically indicating it is a JWT. Together, they facilitate secure client authentication in OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect protocols. API consumer as to define JWK keystore in settings tab of the application in Orange Developer

For current implementation only FraudPreventionAndDetection dpv value is managed, which means that:

• the scope in the bc-authorize must be set to openid dpv:IdentityVerification kyc-contract-signal:retrieve

Orange Authorization Server will check if the owner of the phone number did not opted-out to authorize access to this data. If this is not the case a response 200 is sent back with a authorization request identifier (auth_req_id). If the resource owner or OpenID Provider denied the request an error 403 Forbidden is sent back.

Request:

curl  -X POST \
  'https://api.orange.com/openidconnect/ciba/fr/v1/bc-authorize' \
  --header 'Accept: */*' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
  --data-urlencode 'login_hint=tel:+336666666' \
  --data-urlencode 'client_assertion_type=urn:ietf:params:oauth:client-assertion-type:jwt-bearer' \
  --data-urlencode 'client_assertion=eyJhbGciOiJSUz...1jjGg' \
  --data-urlencode 'scope=openid dpv:IdentityVerification kyc-contract-signal:retrieve'

Response:

200 
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "auth_req_id": "y_azuw2HT4fWYPb0-0w2DBhaEq8",
  "expires_in": 120,
  "interval": 2
}

Step 2: Request the OAuth access token

Once the client application gets the authorization code, the API Invoker polls the token endpoint by making an "HTTP POST" request by sending the grant_type (urn:openid:params:grant-type:ciba), auth_req_id (OperatorAuthReqId) and the the application credentials (client_assertion & client_assertion_type) parameters

If the transaction succeeds, in the POST response, the acccess_token is provided.

Request:

curl  -X POST \
  'https://api.orange.com/openidconnect/ciba/fr/v1/token' \
  --header 'Accept: */*' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
  --data-urlencode 'client_assertion_type=urn:ietf:params:oauth:client-assertion-type:jwt-bearer' \
  --data-urlencode 'client_assertion=eyJhbGciOi....iuT111jjGg' \
  --data-urlencode 'auth_req_id=y_azuw2HT4fWYPb0-0w2DBhaEq8' \
  --data-urlencode 'grant_type=urn:openid:params:grant-type:ciba'

Response:

200 
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "access_token": "OFR_28Fp...Jb60y3KPvcZaOTHJ_sFnjOmyHN5PxXG...osYpKu3gA4utWicDw",
  "token_type": "Bearer",
  "refresh_token": "4bwc0ESC_IAhflf-ACC_vjD_ltc11ne-8gFPfA2Kx16",
  "expires_in": 120,
  "id_token": "OFR_28Fp...Jb60y3KPvcZaOTHJ_sFnjOmyHN5PxXG...osYpKu3gA4utWicDw"
}

Step 3: Access protected resources using OAuth access token

In order to call our API, the access_token is mandatory.

Specific documentation about match resource is provided below.

}

Fields description

Most frequent errors

If invalid input are provided in particular for the device identifier a 400 error is triggered.

HTTP/1.1 400 Invalid input
Content-Type: application/json
{
  "code": "INVALID_ARGUMENT",
  "status": 400,
  "message": "Invalid input"
}

If the client provided a phone number within the access token but also provide it in the API payload an error 422 is end back.

HTTP/1.1 422 Unprocessable Content
Content-Type: application/json
{
  "status": 422,
  "code": "UNNECESSARY_IDENTIFIER",
  "message": "The phone number is already identified by the access token."
}

If the contrat signal service is not up and running, a 503 error is sent.

HTTP/1.1 503 Service unavailable
Content-Type: application/json
{
  "code": "UNAVAILABLE",
  "status": 503,
  "message": "Service unavailable"
}

There are some cases where your client application will no longer gain access to API resources, and get an error back.

Please check the following points:

• Here, you attempt to use an expired or revoked access_token and you get an invalid token error. You will have to request a new access_token. As an example:

HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
Content-Type: application/json
{
  "code": "UNAUTHENTICATED",
  "status": 401,
  "message": "Authorization failed: ..."
}

• Here, you removed your subscription to the API so that the capability to generate an access_token is not allowed anymore. As an example:

HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
Content-Type: application/json
{
  "code": "PERMISSION_DENIED",
  "status": 403,
  "message": "Operation not allowed: ..."
}
