Easy
integration

Three ways to run a check: one script tag, a call from your backend, or a link you send to someone. Pick the one that fits how much you want to build.

Choose your integration method

Embed the widget

One script tag on your page

Drop the verification widget into your site. No build step, no framework requirement.

Renders in an iframe, isolated from your page
Auto-sizes to its content
Callbacks for ready, started, verdict and error
Works with a shareable link or a session you created
Restrict which of your domains may embed it
No dependencies, nothing to keep updated
Example Integration
<script src="https://verify.cognau.com/embed.js"></script>
<script>
  const v = Cognau.open({
    link: 'cgn_vl_…',
    onVerdict: r => { v.close(); console.log(r.passed, r.sessionId) }
  });
</script>

Server API

Create sessions with your secret key

The production shape: your backend opens the session, the browser only ever holds a single-use token.

Separate test and live environments per key
Signed webhooks as the authoritative result
Your own reference echoed back for reconciliation
Per-account monthly quotas
Full session history and audit log
Sandbox that stores no video and costs nothing
Example Integration
// Your server, with your secret key
POST /api/v1/session/create
Authorization: Bearer cgn_sk_live_…

{
  "platform": "web",
  "clientReference": "user_4821"
}

// Returns a single-use token for the browser
{ "sessionId": "…", "sessionToken": "cgn_st_…" }

Verification links

No integration at all

Send someone a URL, they complete the check, you get the result. Useful for trials, support flows, and one-off verifications.

Created from the dashboard or one API call
Single use by default, and always expires
Revocable instantly
Optional redirect back to your own page
Same result delivery as any other session
Nothing to deploy
Example Integration
POST /api/v1/cockpit/verification-links
Authorization: Bearer cgn_sk_live_…

{
  "label": "Acme onboarding",
  "clientReference": "user_4821",
  "maxUses": 1
}

// → https://verify.cognau.com/?link=cgn_vl_…

How It All Works Together

1

Session Creation

Your server opens a session with your secret key, or you send someone a verification link

2

The check runs

The widget opens the camera and issues a short sequence of prompts, drawn at random for that session

3

Analysis

Frames are analyzed as they arrive, never on the user device, so the result cannot be tampered with

4

Result

A pass or fail with a confidence score, delivered by signed webhook to your server

5

Capture pruned

An abandoned session's frames are deleted within 24 hours. A scored one keeps a small sample as evidence, on a schedule published in our biometric data policy

Built for Enterprise

Enterprise Security

Encrypted transport, single-use credentials, time-limited sessions, and deletion enforced by the database rather than by a job that can be forgotten.

Scored as it runs

Frames are scored as they arrive over a persistent connection, so the result lands as soon as the check itself is over, usually inside a minute.

Developer Friendly

Comprehensive APIs, detailed documentation, and modular architecture for easy integration.
