| Summary | 0009142: exchange is storing KYC attributes in a weird, undocumented JSON format [4-8h] | ||||
| Description | When doing a POST to /kyc-upload/... via "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded", the exchange is storing the data in a rather weird and undocumented format. For example, POSTing the following payload full_name=Alice+Abc&birthdate=2000-01-01 will result in the following attributes JSON: { "full_name": { "text": "Alice Abc" }, "birthdate": { "text": "2020-01-01" } } For file uploads, the exchange is using a much saner format ({filename, content_type, data}) and not this weird "type as key" format. Ideally the exchange should store plain attributes just as a string: { "full_name": "Alice Abc", "birthdate": "2020-01-01" } | ||||

| Ah, it's not that. The format is always the same! content_type?: string; // unavailable in your case filename?: string; // unavailable in your case text?: string; // non-binary data // you got this one! data? string; // base32-encoded binary data | |
| docs.git::52fcb58d..4a8ae565 documents the FORM attribute data format (see KycStructuredFormData) and also gives a proper reference to GANA for the KYC provider (LINK-check) style attribute specification. | |
