Install & configure

Status

The Go SDK is source-available on request and is not yet released: v2 has no tagged version and is not published to a module proxy, so go get against the module path below will not resolve until it is. It covers OCR, face, liveness and sessions; fraud detection and verification sessions are not in it. Server-side integrations that need those today should call the REST API directly or use the JavaScript SDK.

go get​

go get github.com/cloudbhutan/ekyc-sdk-go/v2

Note the /v2 module path suffix — required by Go's module versioning rules.

Construct a client​

import (
    "os"
    ekyc "github.com/cloudbhutan/ekyc-sdk-go/v2"
)

func main() {
    client, err := ekyc.NewClient(ekyc.Config{
        BaseURL: "https://api.drukverify.com",
        APIKey:  os.Getenv("EKYC_SECRET_KEY"),
    })
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
    // use client
}

NewClient validates the APIKey prefix immediately. An unrecognized prefix returns an error before any network call — fail-fast on misconfiguration.

Don't hard-code the secret. Read from env:

APIKey: os.Getenv("EKYC_SECRET_KEY"),

Set in your runtime environment via Doppler / Vault / SSM / docker-compose.

Where this code runs​

The Go SDK is server-side. The dv_sk_* is a credential like a database password — never embed it in a binary you ship to end users.

If you need to authenticate from a mobile or browser client, use the Sessions.Create helper to mint a short-lived dv_tok_* and ship that to the client instead.
