Notes

The CustomerIdentificationUrl provided upon successful creation of a session has an expiry time of 1 day. The session is needed only for the submission of information, so once the information is submitted for identification, it is no longer required and the result of the identification can be monitored from the Case to which it's attached.

However, if you have not started or completed the submition of information and your session expires you simply need to call the create endpoint with the existing case id (whether it was created as part of the original submission or whether it is an existing Case which you provided), and a new CustomerIdentificationUrl will be supplied.

Example Response

{
    "CustomerIdentificationUrl": "https://{example_url}/session/{sessionId}",
    "CaseId": "581ebe6d-9b1b-4b92-a057-e4d5cbb34012"
}
