One of the most common dilemmas faced by technology leaders is deciding whether to build applications in-house or adopt ready-made solutions. When it comes to biometric authentication, the scenario becomes even more complex. That's because developing a solution from scratch requires mastery of advanced algorithms, expertise in information security, and compliance with the General Data Protection Law (GDPL).
To help organizations reduce time and investment in research and testing, BioPass ID provides ready-to-use biometric APIs. With the platform, software development companies can integrate high-performance biometrics directly into web or mobile applications in just a few hours.
In this content, you'll discover the advantages of BioPass ID's biometric APIs and how the platform meets infrastructure, security, and specialized technical support requirements.
Let's go!
Key biometric APIs from BioPass ID
Software development companies know that security, agility, and regulatory compliance aren't optional. They're mandatory requirements for any modern solution.
To meet these demands, BioPass ID provides three main APIs, each playing a crucial role in the digital identification process:
- Quality API: ensures that only excellent-quality biometric images are registered in the system.
- Multibiometrics API: combines fingerprint and facial recognition, creating more secure and flexible authentication flows.
- ABIS API: prevents fraud and duplicates by verifying whether the biometric data already exists in the database.
Next, we'll explain in detail how each one works.
Quality API Package
The Quality API ensures high-quality biometric data recording, functioning as an intelligent filter. The goal is to prevent low-quality images, such as blurry, poorly lit, and/or smudged photos, from being accepted into the systems.
The tool evaluates biometric capture in real-time and assigns an adjustable quality score. This way, the contracting company has the autonomy to define the minimum acceptable level according to their business rules.
Technical advantages:
- Reduces false negatives, preventing legitimate users from being rejected by the system.
- Prevents fraud by blocking attempts with tampered or low-resolution digital photos.
- Ensures international standardization, guaranteeing compliance with industry best practices.
ABIS API Package
The ABIS API performs 1:N biometric searches, evaluating each new registration to confirm the absence of duplicates. In practice, the system checks whether the submitted biometric data already exists in the database before authorizing the creation of a new record.
Technical advantages:
- Prevents identity fraud by blocking multiple registrations from the same person.
- Preserves database integrity, avoiding duplicates and maintaining reliable information.
- Maintains scalability, with the capacity to manage millions of identities at large scale.
Multibiometrics API Package
The Multibiometrics API enables the combination of authentication methods, such as facial recognition and fingerprint. This combination allows for the creation of adaptive validation flows, balancing layered security with user experience.
Technical advantages:
- Offers operational flexibility by allowing fingerprint access when facial recognition cannot be used, and vice versa.
- Reinforces security by enabling critical operations to require two biometrics simultaneously.
- Prevents user lockouts by ensuring access through one biometric when the other temporarily fails.
BioPass ID infrastructure, security, and support
Adopting biometrics requires scalable infrastructure, rigorous protocols, and specialized technical support. BioPass ID was developed to meet these requirements end-to-end, eliminating the need for companies to build everything from scratch.
Here's how:
Continuous updates
The platform continuously updates biometric algorithms, APIs, and technical documentation for developers. This ensures that organizations always have access to the latest technologies and market information.
Specialized technical support
BioPass ID offers support via email and chat, with source code examples and ready-to-use collections for tools like Postman. Even teams without prior biometric experience can perform integrations quickly.
Security and privacy
The platform ensures that all organizational data travels with TLS encryption, storing only biometric templates. Additionally, it strictly follows GDPL and other international data protection standards.
Scalability
BioPass ID was designed to support everything from small projects to large-scale operations. Companies that contract the platform don't need to calculate capacity, manage servers, or make manual adjustments when demand grows. The infrastructure scales automatically, keeping the system always available.
All these differentiators allow businesses to reduce project time-to-market and eliminate technical and regulatory risks. As a result, it's possible to deliver more value to end customers.
Enhance security at your software development company with biometric solutions
Throughout this article, we presented three BioPass ID APIs for software development companies. With the Quality API, organizations register only excellent-quality images and prevent fraud. The ABIS API performs 1:N biometric searches, identifies duplicates in the database, and preserves information integrity. Finally, the Multibiometrics API combines facial recognition and fingerprint in flexible authentication flows, with robust security and superior user experience.
BioPass ID offers complete, scalable infrastructure in compliance with GDPL and others international data protection standards. The result is reduced operational costs, accelerated project time-to-market, and elimination of technical and regulatory risks.
