Documentation Structure
This documentation uses a structured approach to help you find the right information at the right time.
Documentation Sections
The Accertify API documentation is organized into the following major sections:
Separation of Guidance and Structure
This documentation intentionally separates conceptual understanding from technical structure.
- Concept topics explain how to think about API behavior, events, and data relationships.
- Constraint topics define rules and requirements that must be followed.
- Reference topics describe exact API structures, schemas, and fields.
Understanding this separation will help you navigate the documentation efficiently and avoid misinterpreting field‑level details without the appropriate context.
Current and Legacy Documentation
Universal Fraud APIs are the authoritative source for new fraud integrations. Legacy API documentation is maintained separately for customers supporting existing implementations.
When documentation exists in both locations, Universal Fraud API documentation should be treated as the primary source of implementation guidance.
