Signals

Signals provides high value information on contact identifiers in order to model risk. Receive rich, data intelligence signals associated with an individual to further understand current, active and/or historical elements to ingest into algorithms in order to flag suspicious activities or validate identities.

Signals spans both the digital and terrestrial ecosystems along with providing linkages between how individuals represent themselves both professionally and personally.

For each contact identifier being passed back in Signals such as, phones, and IP Addresses you will receive a max of 5 additional identifiers for each. For hashed emails, you will receive a max of 20 additional identifiers.

Important Note Regarding Versioning

The default version the API your account receives depends on when you first started with Fideo. You will be defaulted to the latest version as of your contract date. To ensure you're on the specific desired version or to test newer versions you can specify the version in the url as a query param v (example: v=20240424) shown like this:

https://api.fideo.ai/signals?v=20240424

This will let you test changes in a development environment before moving to production

Country Filtering - New As of August 2024!

The Signals payload now allows optional for country filtering:

{
  // signals request -- email, phone, social profile, name + address, etc.
  
  // new fields you can add to requests:
	"countries" : ["US", "CA"],
	"excludedCountries: ["CN"]
}

The countries provided as countries or excludedCountries can be upper or lower cased versions of the ISO 3166-1 alpha 2 country codes.

If excludedCountriesis passed in, any presence of that country will result in the a 204 (no content) response. Similarly in order for data to be returned, using countriesthe country provided must be found in the profile.

💡If no country can be found, it will be assumed to be a US profile!

❗These options are mutually exclusive, so please only pass one of the arguments in to a given request!
