For developers
Ask for an answer, not for a copy.
Sign in with Unidy. Read a field you were given permission to read. Store none of it.
Being built. Nothing here can be integrated yet, and the pages below describe intent, not a shipped API. If you want to be told when it is real, write to hello@unidy.com.
Standard sign-in, not a new protocol
Unidy will be an OpenID Connect provider. If your stack already speaks OIDC or OAuth 2.0, "Continue with Unidy" is another issuer, discovered the usual way, with the usual authorisation code flow and PKCE. Nothing proprietary to learn, nothing bespoke to maintain.
The issuer will be id.unidy.com, and it will never move.
What is different
- A permission has a purpose, a scope and an end. It is granted by the person, to you, for a stated reason, and it expires.
- You read a value when you need it instead of keeping a copy that goes stale.
- The person can withdraw a permission, and your access ends when they do.
- Some questions are answered without the document: "over 18" rather than a passport image.
What this is worth to you
Less personal data to hold, protect, correct and eventually delete. Details that are current because they come from the person rather than from a form filled in three years ago. Fewer abandoned sign-ups, because there is less to type.
There is an honest trade: you give up owning the copy. That is the point of the whole thing.
How this gets adopted
People first. Unidy has to be worth having before a single organisation integrates anything, which is why the first release is useful to a person on their own, and why sharing works with organisations that have never heard of us: a short address or a QR code, no integration required.
Integration comes after that, for the organisations that would rather ask for an answer than store a copy of everybody.
What is not here yet
No endpoints, no client registration, no sandbox, no SDKs, no scope catalogue. When there is something to build against, it will be documented here, with the same rule the rest of this site follows: nothing described in the present tense until it runs.
