Comprehensive API documentation for fraud prevention is essential to any developer-facing product. It is the bridge between your software and the final users who will employ it to achieve their goals. The best way to ensure that your API is well understood by this diverse audience is to create clear and concise documentation for it. This includes a range of getting started guides, how to articles and code samples for the many different languages that developers will use it with.

When to Use a Fraud Prevention API

The right time to use fraud detection tools is during an important user journey, such as signing up for an account, a payment or a purchase. A fraud detection API can automatically detect these critical moments and provide an automated risk score to help you protect your business from bad actors, fraudulent payments and chargebacks.

A fraud detection API can also help you protect against the growing threats of phishing and spam accounts, spoofed logins and credential stuffing attacks. This helps to build trust with your customers and fosters a reliable digital environment.

The SEON SDK collects device data and prepares an encrypted payload to send in the Fraud API request. This isn’t readable on the client side, but we reveal it on the Fraud API response and in the Admin Panel.
