Developers
Getting started with REST API
The Datanamix REST API is used by developers to integrate with our various credit bureau services, as well as our other services, like KYC and ID verification.
The API is built for reliability and speed. Datanamix processes millions of API calls per month for thousands of customers, banks, and insurers.
Once approved, you will receive access to our API Manager and Swagger tools.
Getting Access
To access our API systems, you need to first apply for an API account. You have the option of a prepaid account, or you can apply for a 30-day account.

Should you need any technical assistance with our API, please log a support ticket here: Support Ticket
We also offer software development and integration services. Please log a ticket above with your requirements, and a support agent will contact you.
Sandbox
Use the same user credentials to access the sandbox environment here: Sandbox
The sandbox environment is there for you to play with dummy data, and test available APIs.ย The sandbox environment is a mirror environment of the live environment, so any code produced here will work 100% in the production environment.
Regretfully not all APIs are available in the sandbox.
Swagger Tool
Use the same user credentials to access the swagger tool here: Swagger Tool
The swagger tool hosts a comprehensive, easy-to-understand framework of API documentation for each service. The swagger UI has a built-in POST function for each service that enables developers to execute and monitor the API requests and results, making it easy to understand the endpoints.
