Sift is the leader in Digital Trust & Safety, empowering organizations of all sizes to unlock new revenue without risk using machine learning. Sift helps businesses to make accurate, real-time decisions that both improve user experience and increase revenue. You can use Sift whether you’re building a brand new risk system or looking to augment an existing legacy system.
Sift makes risk predictions in real-time using your own data and data from across Sift’s global network. Our machine learning systems identify patterns of behavior across thousands of device, user, network, and transactional signals. These are often patterns that only a machine learning system can spot. Using Sift, businesses have stopped 100s billions of dollars of fraud worldwide.
There are many abuse use cases that Sift can stop:
Sift easily integrates into your existing systems using modern REST APIs, Javascript snippet, and SDKs for iOS and Android. In addition, Sift offers Workflows, a powerful rules automation platform, and Review Queues. These enable you to build a complete solution with Sift.
The next sections will walk you through getting started with Sift.
To use Sift, we need to know about the transactions and events on your website and/or mobile apps and what actions you take in response to them. This includes:
Because Sift gets smarter the more data it has about your business, you can jump start your integration by backfilling a few months worth of historical data.
If you have any questions about what data to send to Sift, check our integration guides for recommendations based on your type of business. If you have any other questions, don’t hesitate to contact us at support@sift.com.
Once you start sending data, Sift starts to make predictions about whether a user’s actions are legitimate or fraudulent. Sift represents this risk with a score between 0 and 100, where risky events have higher scores. Sift generates a unique score per type of fraud you're preventing (e.g., payment fraud, content abuse, etc.), so a user’s events could have a high score for one type of abuse and a low score for another.
Sift’s risk scores are generated in real-time in response to whatever data has been sent. As you send more data for an event, the predictions will become more accurate. Scores can both increase or decrease in response to new data. It all depends on whether the user is exhibiting legitimate or risky patterns.
You’ll use Sift risk scores to help you make decisions about your users’ actions at key lifecycle events (e.g., creating an account, placing an order, etc.). For example, whether you want to automatically block an order, send it to manual review or approve it, all these choices can be decided based on the Sift Score. Since all businesses are different, finding your unique score thresholds that achieve your business goals is key. Don’t hesitate to email support@sift.com if you need any help choosing the score thresholds that make sense for you.
The final step to using Sift is adding business logic that makes Decisions based on the Sift risk score. This step is so important because the real power of Sift is using machine learning to efficiently and accurately automate decisions in your business.
Here’s an example of using Sift to stop payments fraud. When an order is created by a user, the business checks the Sift Score:
To build this business logic, there are two different approaches that you can take. You should choose your approach based on your business needs.
You can build your business logic on Sift with our Workflows Platform. Workflows let you set up criteria that get evaluated whenever specified events occur. For example, you can setup a Workflow that evaluates whenever a user creates an account. You can specify criteria (e.g., country = “Canada” & Sift Score > 80) that when met, Sift will auto-block, auto-accept, or send the user ID to a Sift Review Queue for manual review. The configuration is all up to you, and logic can be updated by your fraud manager without any developer involvement. Learn more about setting up Sift Workflows.
You can build your business logic within your application using Sift Scores. You can request Sift Scores synchronously each time you send an event. This will allow you to implement Sift Scores into your existing internal systems and manual review tools. Note, make sure to send all of the decisions from your system to Sift as Decision events.
For more information on building any of the above, check out our list of vertical-specific tutorials. They'll help you customize your Sift integration to fit your unique business needs. Client libraries are also available.
The Core Topics section covers items that are generally applicable across Sift’s APIs and answers questions common developers have about integrating and using Sift.
Sift provides client libraries in Python, Ruby, PHP and Java. They provide a wrapper for Sift’s APIs and will help with sending events and decisions or receiving scores.
Installation instructions can be found in the Client Libraries Tutorial or in the respective Github repositories below:
If you’re not seeing a client library in a language you use, please let us know what you’d like us to support via email: support@sift.com.
Authentication is required for requests to Sift. Sift uses API Keys to authenticate REST API requests, and a separate Beacon Key to authenticate events from our SDKs. Keys are available in two classes: production for your live site once you’ve tested new parts of an integration, and sandbox for testing or getting started.
For greater security, you may also create a restricted API Key with specific permissions to your account data. A restricted key provides only permissions and access to data for an application that you permit, protecting the data that the application doesn’t need. For example, you may create a restricted key that grants only permission to retrieve Order data for the purposes of informing your Chargeback Management service. API Keys offer the ability to edit access to the following resources:
If a restricted key is no longer needed, or possibly compromised, access to the key may be disabled or revoked at any time. You also have the ability to edit the permissions of already existing keys.
Restricted keys are only intended to be used for applications which require partial access to your Sift data, and should not be used for the standard Sift integration.
Keys can found within the Sift Console under API Keys. Detailed guidance for each API or SDK can found within their reference sections.
When integrating Sift, it’s strongly recommended that you first test your changes by sending all data to the sandbox console with your sandbox API Keys prior to sending data with production API Keys.
For authenticating Decision Webhooks sent to your servers by Sift, you can configure a Webhook Signature Key.
Prefer SHA-256 over SHA-1 as the encryption type when creating a webhook signature key in the Console.
Sift recommends that developers utilize the sandbox environment when testing new elements of Sift. This sandbox environment allows you to send test events or client data to Sift without impacting the scores Sift produces in production. To get access to your sandbox keys, visit the API Keys section of the console Developer center and make sure you’ve selected sandbox mode. Selecting sandbox mode will switch you to the sandbox view so you can see all your test data in the console (e.g. Explore, Queues, Workflows, etc.).
A successful API request will respond with an HTTP 200
. An invalid API
request will respond with an HTTP 400
. The response body will be a JSON
object describing why the request failed. If Sift’s servers are dealing with unexpected
problems, you’ll get a HTTP 500
response. A non-zero status indicates an error.
In the case that you’re using the return_score
or
return_workflow_status
query parameter, you’ll also want to examine the
score
object within the response for failures.

Sift uses
user ID and session ID
to track user IDs and sessions respectively. Both are important
for Sift to be able to understand the activity related to your user ID and it’s strongly
recommended that these are sent whenever possible. A $user_id
should be a field
that the user cannot update (e.g. if they can change their email address, a different
unique identifier is recommended).
You may have some periods of time when the $user_id
is not apparent for a user –
either because they have not logged in, or because you’re doing something like guest
checkout where the $user_id
has not been assigned yet. In those cases:
_user_id
to the empty string.setUserId
once the user has signed in.$user_id
to an empty string and set $session_id
to match the value provided in the JavaScript
snippet, if applicable. Events sent without a user ID will not be scored, and will not trigger
Workflows. Once the user has logged in or created an account, send a subsequent event, or a
$link_session_to_user
event with the user ID set, and the same session ID.$user_id
field (e.g. email address or transaction ID).When sending requests to the REST APIs, you can send both reserved and custom data.
Reserved events and fields are events that Sift has defined, that Sift can do advanced
analysis on. When possible, send the user actions taken on your site or app with
reserved events or fields. Reserved events or fields are denoted by the $
character
prior to the event or field name (e.g. $login
event or $user_id
field).
Each event accepts required, reserved, and custom fields.
Custom events are events you create to capture actions unique to your application. If
there are key actions or attributes your users take that are not captured by our
reserved events, send these as custom event or custom field. Custom events still require
$type
, $api_key
, and the presence of $user_id
or
$session_id
.
To learn more, see examples in the Custom Events and Fields section.
When you’re first sending data to Sift, you may want to send critical historical data to Sift
so there’s data available for our machine learning predictions. You’ll indicate an event is a
historical event by sending with a $time
in the past (using UNIX millis timestamp).
You can then mark known fraudulent events through the Decisions API.
$time
in millis.$ip
if known. Note: While we use up to 12 months of historical data, users with activity older than 30 days will not show up in the console.

The Sift Mobile SDKs collect and send device information and app life cycle events to Sift.
Broadly, the Mobile SDKs are the analogue to the Sift JavaScript snippet. Just like the JavaScript snippet allows Sift to collect a range of browser properties and client-side user actions, the Mobile SDKs allow mobile applications to collect and send device properties and application lifecycle events to Sift. These events are the foundational data that drives machine learning at Sift.
The Mobile SDKs operate at high performance and are designed to be simple, robust and easy to integrate. Performance optimizations that reduce end-user impact include batching, compression, deduplication, archiving, and many other techniques detailed in this blog post.
iOS SDK – Integrate the iOS SDK into your mobile application.
Android SDK – Integrate the Android SDK into your mobile application.
The SDK can be installed through either CocoaPods or Carthage.
pod 'Sift'
(this uses the latest version).pod install
.github "SiftScience/sift-ios"
(this uses
the latest version)carthage update
.At a bare minimum, configuring your use of the Sift iOS SDK requires passing in your account id and beacon key. Your account id is retrievable by your account's admin in your profile section. The beacon key is the same key that is used in your Sift JS Snippet, and can be found in the developer section. Note in particular that this key is not considered secret; a sophisticated bad actor could recover this key from your app, or from the JS beacon, and use it to submit mobile events.
The SDK works in the background, so you have to initialize it when your
app starts. It usually makes most sense to initialize the SDK in
application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions
.
Here is an example of what you would do within AppDelegate.m
:
#import "Sift/Sift.h"
Add the application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions
instance method
if it doesn't exist, and insert this code snippet (replacing the placeholder
strings with your Sift account credentials):
Sift *sift = [Sift sharedInstance]; [sift setAccountId:@"YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID"]; [sift setBeaconKey:@"YOUR_JAVASCRIPT_SNIPPET_KEY"];
Import the Sift framework via CocoaPods or Carthage as described above. Create a bridging header and add it to Build Settings > Swift Compiler - General > Objective-C Bridging Header.
Add the following code snippet to your AppDelegate.swift
file
(replacing the placeholder strings with your Sift account credentials):
let sift = Sift.sharedInstance sift().accountId = "YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID" sift().beaconKey = "YOUR_JAVASCRIPT_SNIPPET_KEY" // Set the user ID once it is available sift().userId = "USER_ID_GOES_HERE"
[sift setAllowUsingMotionSensors:YES

Add the
latest version
of the Sift SDK to your application's build.gradle
file:
dependencies { ... implementation 'com.siftscience:sift-android:VERSION' ... }
If your application uses Google Play Services, you will need to configure your
build.gradle
file to fix its dependency version:
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:YOUR_GMS_VERSION'
You may also need to add the following packagingOptions
to the
main android
block:
android { ... packagingOptions { exclude 'META-INF/DEPENDENCIES.txt' exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE.txt' exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE.txt' exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE' exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE' exclude 'META-INF/DEPENDENCIES' exclude 'META-INF/notice.txt' exclude 'META-INF/license.txt' exclude 'META-INF/dependencies.txt' exclude 'META-INF/LGPL2.1' } ... }
There are two different integration paths to take for incorporating Sift into your application.
The first one will be detailed below in the Application Integration section. Follow these instructions if your application flow is primarily based on Activities.
If your application flow is based on a combination of Activities and Fragments, please refer to the Custom Integration section.
Add Sift to your Application file
Create an Application file if you haven’t already. Create an internal class that implements
the ActivityLifecycleCallbacks
interface and register Sift as shown below:
import siftscience.android.Sift; public class App extends Application { @Override public void onCreate() { super.onCreate(); registerActivityLifecycleCallbacks(new ActivityLifecycleCallbacksHandler()); } private static final class ActivityLifecycleCallbacksHandler implements ActivityLifecycleCallbacks { public void onActivityCreated(Activity activity, Bundle bundle) { Sift.open(activity, new Sift.Config.Builder() .withAccountId("YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID") .withBeaconKey("YOUR_BEACON_KEY") // Uncomment to disallow location collection // .withDisallowLocationCollection(true) .build()); Sift.collect(); } public void onActivityPaused(Activity activity) { Sift.pause(); } public void onActivityResumed(Activity activity) { Sift.resume(activity); } public void onActivityDestroyed(Activity activity) { Sift.close(); } } }
Set the user ID
As soon as your application is aware of the user ID, set it on the Sift instance using the code below. All subsequent events will be associated with that user ID.
Sift.setUserId("SOME_USER_ID");
If the user logs out of your application or their session ends, you should unset the user ID:
Sift.unsetUserId();
Initialize Sift in your main Activity
Configure the Sift object in the onCreate
method of your application's main Activity
(the one that begins the application). If the user ID is known at this point, you
can set it here. Otherwise, you should set it as soon as it is known. In the main Activity,
also override onPause
, onResume
, and onDestroy
as shown:
import siftscience.android.Sift; public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity { @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_hello_sift); Sift.open(this, new Sift.Config.Builder() .withAccountId("YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID") .withBeaconKey("YOUR_BEACON_KEY") // Uncomment to disallow location collection // .withDisallowLocationCollection(true) .build()); Sift.collect(); } @Override protected void onPause() { super.onPause(); Sift.pause(); } @Override protected void onResume() { super.onResume(); Sift.resume(this); } @Override protected void onDestroy() { super.onDestroy(); Sift.close(); } }
Add Sift to your application flow
For each Activity or Fragment that represents a unique page in your application
flow, override onStart
, onPause
, onResume
, and onDestroy
:
public class OtherActivity extends AppCompatActivity { @Override protected void onStart(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onStart(); Sift.open(this); // For Fragments, use Sift.open(this.getActivity()) instead Sift.collect(); } @Override protected void onPause() { super.onPause(); Sift.save(); } @Override protected void onResume() { super.onResume(); // For Fragments, use Sift.open(this.getActivity()) instead Sift.resume(this); } @Override protected void onDestroy() { super.onDestroy(); Sift.close(); } }
Set the user ID
As soon as your application is aware of the user ID, set it on the Sift instance using the code below. All subsequent events will be associated with that user ID.
Sift.setUserId("SOME_USER_ID");
If the user logs out of your application or their session ends, you should unset the user ID:
Sift.unsetUserId();
Use the Events API to record the core actions users take in your application. The more detail we capture about user behaviors, the better we can distinguish between fraudulent and legitimate events. We have two types of events:
Each event has fields that provide details.
Sift's Events API accepts event data as a JSON
request body via a HTTP POST
request at
this endpoint:
https://api.sift.com/v205/events
Every event must contain your $api_key
, the event $type
, and a $user_id
(if this is not
available, you can alternatively provide a $session_id
). Make sure to look at our
error codes.
fields
parameterUse $add_item_to_cart
to record when a user adds an item to their shopping cart or list.
"$add_item_to_cart"
Your Sift REST API key.
The user's current session ID, used to tie a user's action before and after log in or account creation.
The user's account ID according to your systems. Note: User IDs are case sensitive.

. The $quantity
is specified as a subfield.
The user agent of the browser that is used to add the item to cart. Represented by the $browser
object.
Use this field if the client is a browser. Note: cannot be used in conjunction with $app
.
The details of the app, os, and device that is used to add the item to cart. Represented by the $app
object.
Use this field if the client is an app. Note: cannot be used in conjunction with $browser
.
Name of the brand of product or service being purchased.
Country the company is providing service from. Use ISO-3166 country code.
Domain being interfaced with. Use fully qualified domain name.
Email of the user logging in. Note: If the user's email is also their account ID in your
system, set both the $user_id
and $user_email
fields to their
email address.
Phone number of the user. This phone number will be used to send One-Time Password (OTP) when required.
The phone number should be in E.164 format including +
and a country code.

When you identify suspicious activity on a user account, you may want to notify the user of this activity.
For example, a login may seem suspicious because the login attempt was made from a new device.
You may choose to inform the user that this incident happened. Ideally, these notifications should
contain a summary of the activity and also have a response mechanism where the user may confirm or
deny if the suspicious activity was them. The $security_notification
event is used to capture this
lifecycle of issuing the notification and the user response.
"$security_notification"
Your Sift REST API key.
The user's account ID according to your systems. Note that user IDs are case sensitive.
Find valid $user_id
values here.

The phone number (e.g. 14155551212, 442072193000) or email address (e.g. bob@example.com) to which the notification was sent.
This value should be passed when the $notification_type
is set to $sms
or $email
.
The status of the notification event: records the follow-up action taken by the notified user.
The user agent of the browser that is used to add the item to cart. Represented by the $browser
object.

Use $transaction
to record attempts to exchange money, credit or other tokens of value.
"$transaction"
Your Sift REST API key.
The user's account ID according to your systems. Note that user IDs are case sensitive.
Find valid $user_id
values here.
Email of the user creating this order. Note: If the user's email is also their account ID in your
system, set both the $user_id
and $user_email
fields to their
email address.
Phone number of the user. This phone number will be used to send One-Time Password (OTP) when required.
The phone number should be in E.164 format including +
and a country code.
The type of transaction being recorded. There are eight types:
$transaction_type
if the transaction type is not provided.Use $transaction_status
to indicate the status of the transaction. The value can be
"$success"
(default value), "$failure"
or "$pending"
. For instance, If
the transaction was rejected by the payment gateway, set the value to "$failure"
.
Total transaction amount in micros in the base unit of the $currency_code
. 1 cent = 10,000
micros. $1.23 USD = 123 cents = 1,230,000 micros. Send as a positive number for all
$transaction_type
values. For currencies without cents of fractional
denominations, like the Japanese Yen, use 1 JPY = 1000000 micros. Use 1 for 1 microBitcoin.
ISO-4217 currency code for the amount. e.g., USD, CAD, HKD, BTC.
The ID for this order in your system. Used for cross referencing an order in your internal systems.
The ID for identifying this transaction. Important for tracking transactions, and linking different parts of the same transaction together, e.g., linking a refund to its original transaction.
The billing address as entered by the user.
The payment information associated with this transaction.
The shipping address as entered by the user.
The user's current session ID, used to tie a user's action before and after log in or account creation.

Follow our guidelines for $user_id
values.
For transfer transactions, the user ID of the user receiving the transfer.
If $transfer_recipient_user_id
is specified, $transaction_type
must be set to "$transfer"
; otherwise, the system will give an error.
Follow our guidelines for $user_id
values.
Use $decline_category
to indicate the category of a transaction decline sent by the PSP.
Please note:
Only send this field when $transaction_status
is $failure
. Sending for transactions with $transaction_status
$success
, $pending
or empty will result in error.
$fraud
$lost_or_stolen
$risky
$bank_decline

Use $update_account
to record changes to the user's account
information. For user accounts created prior to integrating with Sift, it's
recommended that $create_account
is called before $update_account
to enable Sift to track the account's age. Otherwise, call $update_account
and
we'll infer that account was created before integration.
"$update_account"
Your Sift REST API key.
The user's account ID according to your systems. Note that user IDs are case sensitive.
Find valid $user_id
values here.
Track password changes via $update_password.
If the user changed their password, set this field and mark as true
. Additionally,
Sift's recommended approach is to send the $update_password
reserved event.
Updated value of the user's email address. Note: If the user's email is also their account ID in your
system, set both the $user_id
and $user_email
fields to their
email address.
Phone number of the user. This phone number will be used to send One-Time Password (OTP) when required.
The phone number should be in E.164 format including +
and a country code.
The full name of the user.
The primary phone number of the user associated with this account. Provide the phone number as a string
starting with the country code. Use E.164 format or send
in the standard national format of number's origin. For example: "+14155556041" or "1-415-555-6041" for a
U.S. number. If you collect other phone numbers for the account, provide them as additional custom fields,
e.g work_phone
The ID of the user that referred the current user to your business. This field is required for
detecting referral fraud. Note: User IDs are case sensitive. You may need to normalize the
capitalization of your user IDs. Follow our guidelines
for $user_id
values.
The payment method(s) associated with this account. If possible, please send all payment methods associated with the account each time payment methods are updated.
The updated billing address.
The shipping address associated with this user.
If the user logged in with a social identify provider, give the name here.

When a user attempts a high-value activity (e.g., login, view or change account
information) that you deem risky, you may decide to verify whether the user is who
they say they are. This is typically done by asking the user to enter a one-time passcode
that is sent to their email, phone, or app. Other supported methods are detailed below.
Sift models this interaction with the $verification
event.
"$verification"
Your Sift REST API key.
The user's account ID according to your systems. Note that user IDs are case sensitive.
Find valid $user_id
values here.
The user's current session ID, used to tie a user's action before and after log in or account creation.
The status of the verification event.
The user agent of the browser that is verifying. Represented by the $browser object. Use this field if the client is a browser. Note: cannot be used in conjunction with $app.
The details of the app, os, and device that is verifying. Represented by the $app object. Use this field if the client is an app. Note: cannot be used in conjunction with $browser.
The type of the reserved event being verified, e.g., $login
, $create_account
, $update_account
, $update_password
, $create_content
,
$create_order
, $transaction
, $update_content
, $update_order
The ID of the entity impacted by the event being verified, e.g.,
for $login
for $create_order
for $create_content
for $create_account
, $update_account
, or $update_password
The type of verification being performed.
The phone number (e.g. 14155551212, 442072193000), email address (e.g. bob@example.com) or the question (e.g., "what is your mother's maiden name?") used for verification. Do NOT send the answer to the security question!
This value should be passed when the $verification_type
is set to $sms
, $phone_call
, $email
or $shared_knowledge
.
The trigger for the verification
Name of the brand of product or service being purchased.
Country the company is providing service from. Use ISO-3166 country code.

Reserved fields are fields that begin with a $
. These are fields that, due to sending in
a consistent format across customers, we do lots of analysis on. We also share learning across
our global network for these fields, giving you a big added benefit.
Note: When you don't have a value for a given field, send the value as null, nil, None
,
etc, or omit the field altogether.
The following reserved fields are required in every event.
Your Sift REST API key.
The user’s internal account ID. This field is required on all events performed by the user while
logged in. Users without an assigned $user_id
will not show up in the console. Note: User IDs
are case sensitive. You may need to normalize the capitalization of your user IDs. Only the following
characters may be used:a-z,A-Z,0-9,=, ., -, _, +, @, :, &, ^, %, !, $
The user's current session ID, used to tie a user's action before and after log in or account creation.
The name of the event, for example $create_order
.
Each reserved event lists additional reserved fields that add accuracy to your fraud predictions. Send as many as you can. In addition to the reserved fields listed with each event, the following reserved fields can be sent in any event, including custom events.
IP address of the request made by the user. Recommended for historical backfills and customers with mobile apps.
Represents the time the event occurred in your system. Send as a UNIX timestamp in milliseconds as shown in the historical backfill tutorial.
address
is represented as a nested JSON object.
Fields of this type: $arrival_address
, $billing_address
, $departure_address
, $location
, $sent_address
, $received_address
, and $shipping_address
The values for a $sent_address
or $received_address
should only be sent with $transaction
event.
These values should be used in relation to the new transaction types buy
/sell
/send
/receive
.

The $booking
is a specialized field, analogous to $item
, for travel and event ticketing use cases.
A $booking
represents a reservation purchased by a user.
$bookings
should be used in a $create_order
or $update_order
event instead of $items
- an event can have both.
$bookings
support two additional complex types, $segments
and $guests
. $segments
support more detailed fields for each part of a booking, for example, legs of a flight.
$guests
supports detailed fields for each guest on the booking. These fields are optional.
Note: If the $start_time
and $end_time
fields are present for all $segments
,
and the $start_time
and $end_time
fields of a $booking
are omitted,
then they will be automatically set to the earliest $start_time
and latest $end_time
contained within the $segments
defined in the $booking
.
$booking
requires a $booking_type
. A single $create_order
or $update_order
event
can have multiple types of bookings, such as sending both $flight and $accommodation bookings in one order.
Please not that $booking
does not accept custom fields.
We support fields for integrations specific to the following booking types:
Tell Sift about a purchase of tickets to a concert, sporting event, or any other type of event.
A booking should be for a single event and seat type - e.g., a single order purchasing different seat classes to the same concert should get different booking objects.
$event_ticket
A description of the event.
The start time of the event. Send as a UNIX timestamp in milliseconds.
The finish time of the event. Send as a UNIX timestamp in milliseconds.
The price per ticket. Send this field in micros in the base unit of the $currency_code
.
1 cent = 10,000 micros. $1.23 USD = 123 cents = 1,230,000 micros. For currencies without cents of
fractional denominations, like the Japanese Yen, use 1 JPY = 1000000 micros.
ISO-4217 currency code for the amount. e.g., USD, CAD, HKD. If your site uses alternative currencies, like bitcoin or points systems, specify that here.
The count of reservations of the given type purchased by the user. e.g., 2 for a purchase of two tickets to the same event.
Details of the guests using the tickets. Send as much information about each guest as you capture.
For event ticket bookings, this field represents the internal identifier associated with the event.
This field represents the id of the venue.
This field represents the name and address of the venue.
This field captures the genre of ticket.
This field captures any descriptors of the event. For example, tags might be team names, region, etc.

The $ordered_from
field type contains information about the specific physical location providing the good or service.
This can also be used to capture pickup, delivery locations, etc.
We use the values of the latest version of the $ordered_from
object for each $order_id
for reporting in your console.
If you send all other fields except $zipcode
in a $create_order
and then send only $zipcode
in a later, associated
$transaction
for the same $order_id
, we will only use $zipcode
for this order in reporting and
forget the initial $ordered_from
fields sent. So, we recommend that you send this object in either the
$create_order
/$update_order
events OR in $transaction
events, but not in both. Choose the time where you have the most
information to send or where it is easiest to include.
The customer’s internal identifier for the specific physical location providing the good or service.
The address of the specific physical location providing the good or service.

Not all sub-fields will likely apply to a given promotion. Populate only those that apply.
A promotion can be added when creating or updating
an account, creating or updating an order,
or on its own using the $add_promotion
event. The promotion object supports both monetary
(e.g. $25 coupon on first order) and non-monetary (e.g. "1000 in game points to refer a friend").
The ID within your system that you use to represent this promotion. This ID is ideally unique to the promotion across users (e.g. "BackToSchool2016").
The status of the addition of promotion to an account. Best used with the $add_promotion
event. This way you can pass to Sift both successful and failed attempts when using a
promotion. May be useful in spotting potential abuse.
$success
$failure
When adding a promotion fails, use this to describe why it failed.
$already_used
$invalid_code
$not_applicable
$expired
Freeform text to describe the promotion.
The unique account ID of the user who referred the user to this promotion. Note: User IDs are case sensitive.
The $discount
field type generically models monetary discounts that are associated with a
promotion (e.g. $25 off an order of $100 or more, 10% off, etc). Most promotions likely require
a discount
object or credit_point
object to describe them, though both can be set
for a given promotion.
The credit_point
field type generically models monetary and non-monetary rewards
(e.g. in-game currency, stored account value, MBs storage, frequent flyer miles, etc.)
for a promotion. Most promotions likely require a credit_point
object or discount
object to describe them, though both can be set for a given promotion.

The Segment field type supports more detailed information about the components of a travel$booking
.
The value must be a nested object with the appropriate subfields.
We recommend sending at least one segment for the following booking_types:
Even if there’s only a single segment associated with the booking, use segment to send valuable information about the trip.
The address of the start of the journey. This could be the pickup address for rideshare
or the train station address for a rail journey. For flights, you can use the
$departure_airport_code
in lieu of this field.
The address of the end of the journey. This could be the drop-off address for rideshare
or the train station address for a rail journey. For flights, you can use the
$arrival_airport_code
in lieu of this field.
The start time of this segment of the journey. This may be departure time for a flight, the expected pickup time for a rideshare, etc. Send as a UNIX timestamp in milliseconds.
The finish time of this segment of the journey. This may be departure time for a flight, the expected pickup time for a rideshare, etc. Send as a UNIX timestamp in milliseconds.
An identifier for the journey: this could be the flight number ("UA 454"), the car license plate number ("6XYZ123"), etc.
The IATA code for the departure airport. For example: "SFO"
The IATA code for the arrival airport. For example: "SEA"
A description of the class of travel. Eg. "Premium Economy", "Pool", "E3".

Custom events and fields capture user behavior and differences not covered by our reserved
events and fields. For example, a voice over IP (VOIP) business can create a custom event
called make_call
with custom fields that are relevant:
// Sample make_call event { "$type" : "make_call", "$api_key" : "YOUR_API_KEY", "$user_id" : "billy_jones_301", "recipient_user_id" : "marylee819", "call_duration" : 4428 }

require "sift" client = Sift::Client.new(:api_key => "YOUR_API_KEY") # Sample make_call event properties = { "$user_id" => "billy_jones_301", "recipient_user_id" => "marylee819", "call_duration" => 4428 } response = client.track("make_call", properties)
require 'sift-php/lib/Services_JSON-1.0.3/JSON.php'; require 'sift-php/lib/SiftRequest.php'; require 'sift-php/lib/SiftResponse.php'; require 'sift-php/lib/SiftClient.php'; require 'sift-php/lib/Sift.php'; $client = new SiftClient(array('api_key' => 'YOUR_API_KEY')); // Sample make_call event $properties = array( '$user_id' => 'billy_jones_301', 'recipient_user_id' => 'marylee819', 'call_duration' => 4428 ); $response = $client->track('make_call', $properties);

For every custom event, three fields are required:
$type
field where you specify the name of the custom event you're creating. Note that the leading
$
denotes reserved events, and may not be used in custom events. Custom event names may only include
alphanumeric characters
and _
.$api_key
field where you provide your REST API key.$user_id
or, if not available, the $session_id
which identifies the user taking this action.For guidance on how to create custom events, see our Custom Events and Fields guide.
The following the suffixes should be used for custom fields when relevant:
_email
· StringSift performs a number of fraud detection algorithms on emails, including matching against throwaway email domains, and looking for similarity to known fraudsters in the past.
Send any other emails associated with the user in field names like secondary_email
.
_phone
· StringSift can perform lookups to identify country and region of phone numbers if the data is well formed. Provide the phone number as a string starting with the country code. Use E.164 format or send in the standard national format of number's origin. For example: "+14155556041" or "1-415-555-6041" for a U.S. number.
Send phone numbers in field names like secondary_phone
and mobile_phone
.
_lat
· FloatSent as a floating point number with at least two significant figures. Sift uses this data to calculate location and movement, which are particularly useful for businesses where location is an important part of the transaction and for mobile transactions. Typically used along with longitude.
Send latitudes in field names like dropoff_location_lat
.
_lng
· FloatSent as a floating point number with at least two significant figures. Sift uses this data to calculate location and movement, which are particularly useful for businesses where location is an important part of the transaction and for mobile transactions. Typically used along with latitude.
Send longitudes in field names like dropoff_location_lng
.
_id
· StringID of a user or other entity. Valid characters in IDs are alphanumeric characters (without space) and:
=
, .
, -
, _
, +
, @
, :
, &
, ^
,
%
, !
, $
.
Send IDs in field names like buyer_user_id
or store_id
.
_status
· StringStatus of an event.
Many events (e.g., payment authorization, email verification) result in some
permission or verification state. End field names with _status
to capture these permission states.
_title
, _desc
, _message
, _name
, · StringWhen users enter text in a form, send with one of the supported suffixes to take advantage of additional machine learning features.
Send user-entered text in field names like post_title
, job_desc
,
profile_message
, or user_name
.
A successful API request will respond with an HTTP 200
.
An invalid API request will respond with an HTTP 400
.
The response body will be a JSON object describing why the request failed.
Any non-zero status
indicates an error.

If our servers are dealing with unexpected problems, you'll likely see an HTTP 500
response.
There is an ability to request a list of validation warnings in the API response
so that it can be automatically tracked.
They are not critical enough to reject the whole request, but important enough to be fixed.
To receive them in the response
the following param should be passed in the request: &fields=warnings
{ "status": 0, "error_message": "OK", ..., "warnings": { "count": 2, "items": [ { "message": "Required json fields not specified at $.$items[0].$currency_code" }, { "message": "Invalid field value at $.$items[0].$price" } ] } }
Anonymous events are events that do not have a $user_id
.
This can happen when a user visits a website for the first time,
when a customer user has not logged in, or during a guest checkout flow.
Anonymous events are not allowed to be scored synchronously because there is no user associated with the event. Anonymous event promotion is not supported for synchronous events.
When an anonymous event is sent to Sift we will try to fill in the $user_id
based on past
or future non-anonymous events. When we find an event that can promote the anonymous event to a
non-anonymous event then we promote this event asynchronously. When the event is promoted the event
is scored, workflows are not run on the event, and the event can be seen in the user’s activity log.
Decisions represent business actions taken on a user, order, content or session (eg "Block Order", "Approve User", etc). You use Decisions to record of what has happened. Sift uses this information to continuously improve the accuracy of your risk scores.
When integrating with Sift, you need to create Decisions that represent the different business actions your team takes. These will vary based on your business but some examples could include: "Accept Order”, “Approve Post”, “Put User on Watchlist”, “Block Order”, “Ban User”, etc. Decisions are entirely customizable by you to meet the needs of your business. Decisions are created and updated using the Decisions page of the Console.
Decisions can be applied from within the Sift console, sent by your application to the Sift API, or from a Sift Workflow. Whenever a Decision is applied, it should be accompanied by some business action you are taking on your side. For example:
{ "id": "credit_card_fraud_payment_abuse", "name": "Credit Card Fraud", "description": "cancel and refund all of the user's pending order.", "entity_type": "user", "abuse_type": "payment_abuse", "category": "block", "webhook_url": "http://webhook.example.com", "created_at": 1468005577348, "created_by": "admin@example.com", "updated_at": 1469229177756, "updated_by": "billy@exmaple.com" }
A Decision object includes the following:
id
a unique ID within Sift that is set when the Decision is created.name
The name of the Decision that is shown to analysts within the Sift
console.description
a human friendly description of the Decision. This is displayed along with
the decision name in the Console to help your users better understand what action they are
taking.entity_type
describes whether the decision is related to an order, user, session or content.abuse_type
The type of abuse the Decision is related to. Sift can learn the different
patterns of abuse you face. The possible values are:
payment_abuse
, account_abuse
content_abuse
promotion_abuse
account_takeover
category
describes the type of action being taken. The 3 possible categories are:BLOCK
: You are taking a negative action. (eg "Stop Order", "Blacklist User",
"Ban Listing", etc)WATCH
: Your team is not ready to fully block or accept this entity. (eg "Require
Verification", "Limit Order Amount", "Freeze Listing", etc)ACCEPT
: You are taking a positive action. (eg "Ship Order", "Approve User",
"Publish Listing", etc)webhook_url
URl Sift will send a webhook to when a Decision is made within the Sift
Console or from a Sift Workflow
When you apply a Decision, it represents a business action taken at a specific point in time. As a result, once a Decision is made, it can't be deleted or modified. However, you can represent updates by applying a subsequent Decision to that entity. This way, you'll have a full and complete record of what occurred. You can always retrieve the most recent Decision by using the Decision Status API.
The Decisions APIs allow you to:
The Apply Decisions API allows you to apply Decisions to users, orders, content or sessions. This is important so that Sift can track the actions you've taken within your system and learn from them. You can only apply Decisions that are active and already configured for your account in the Decisions section in the Console.
When you send a Decision via the API, we will not send a webhook back to you as you'll already have a record within your system of what occurred. However, if you were to apply that same Decision in the Sift Console, we would send a webhook to your application so that you can update your system.
The unique identifier of the Decision to be applied to an entity. decision_id
and
descriptions can be retrieved using the
GET decisions API
Note: A Decision configured with entity_type=user
can
only be applied to a user. Similarly, a Decision configured with
entity_type=order
can only be applied to an order.
The source of this Decision.
Analyst who applied the Decision, only required when source is set to
manual_review
. Does not need to be an email, can be any analyst identifier.
The time the Decision was applied, as a UNIX timestamp in milliseconds. This is only necessary to send for historical backfill.
A description of the Decision that will be applied.

Display name of the decision.
A description of the Decision. This field is intended as a way to describe the business action(s) associated with the Decision.
Entity type to which this Decision is applicable.
Abuse type which this Decision describes.
Roughly categorizes the type of business action that this Decision represents. For
example, if the Decision was named "Cancel Order" and every time this Decision was
applied your application was configured to cancel the user’s order, this should be
categorized as a BLOCK
Decision.
URL configured as webhook for this Decision. This is an optional field, only necessary if you are receiving Webhooks. When a Decision with a webhook is applied via API, no webhook notification will be sent.
Time at which the Decision was created, as a UNIX timestamp in milliseconds.
User who created decision.
Time at which the Decision was last updated, as a UNIX timestamp in milliseconds.
User who last updated the Decision.
For result sets that span multiple requests, the has_more
field indicates whether
more results may be retrieved. Used in conjunction with next_ref
to paginate
result sets.
For paginated results, next_ref
contains a URL where the next set of results can
be retrieved
Take advantage of webhook authentication to ensure that the request you receive is coming from Sift.

The final, and most important step to integrating with Sift is to write business logic that makes Decisions based on the Sift Risk Score. Workflows allow you to write and evaluate this logic in Sift. For example, you can setup a Workflow that evaluates whenever a user creates an account. You can specify criteria (e.g. country = "Canada" and Sift Score > 80) that when met, Sift will auto-block, auto-accept, or send the user to a Sift Review Queue for manual review. The configuration is all up to you, and logic can be updated in the console.
Please read our Creating a Workflow tutorial, which will walk you through the process of creating Workflows and attaching Decisions/Review Queues to them.
Workflows Integration
To successfully integrate with Workflows, you need to send the trigger event to Sift , and ingest the Workflow Decision. There are two ways to consume Workflow Decisions:
return_workflow_status=true
URL parameter. This is best for when you need to know the output of the Workflow immediately after the
triggering event occurs to make a time sensitive decision.force_workflow_run=true
parameter to ensure that the workflow executes asynchronously. If your workflow includes Review Queues, you will need to configure Webhooks on the queue Decisions. Also note that you can both run a Workflow synchronously, and receive Webhooks. This is a common case for Workflows that both auto block some users and queue medium risk users in the review queue.
If you want to receive the Workflow Decision synchronously, you simply need to add
return_workflow_status=true
to the URL parameters when you are sending Sift a Reserved or Custom event.
Set to true
to get the Workflow Decision Synchronously. If a Workflow is not running on the event
you send this with, it will just return a score synchronously with an empty workflow_statuses
block.
Set to true
to get the route information from the Workflow Decision. This parameter must be used with the return_workflow_status
query parameter.
the abuse type of the scores that you want to return. If you are a customer that has not upgraded to abuse specific scores, and are just using "Sift Score", you must set to legacy
to get a score.
Get score percentiles back when sending an event. If you are using client libraries, please refer to the corresponding code snippet for the correct query parameter value.

If you have a running Workflow configured in the Sift Console,
and you send the Workflow trigger event without setting
return_workflow_status=true
, the Workflow will run asynchronously.
See Events API to see how to send events to Sift.
Workflows that are ran asynchronously, and Workflows that use Review Queues require
Webhooks to receive the final Decision.
To receive Decision Webhooks, just add a Webhook URL to the Decisions used in your Workflow, and see Decision Webhooks documentation.
If your Workflow is configured to only run on API Request, you will
need to include force_workflow_run=true
to run the Workflow asynchronously.
Set to true
to run the Workflow Asynchronously if your Workflow is set to only run on API
Request. If a Workflow is not running on the event you send this with, there will be no error or
score response, and no workflow will run.
the abuse type of the scores that you want to return. If you are a customer that has not upgraded to abuse specific scores, and are just using "Sift Score", you must set to legacy
to get a score.
Get score percentiles back when sending an event. If you are using client libraries, please refer to the corresponding code snippet for the correct query parameter value.

The Workflow Status API allows you to query the status of a specific instance of a Workflow. In order to use this API you need the Run ID. You can get this by using the Synchronous Workflow Status API when you send the initial Workflow event. This API is useful for gathering information on previously executed Workflows.

The Sift APIs give you multiple ways to get a risk score for any of your users. A risk score is a measure of how likely a user is to commit abuse using your service. Scores are computed in real time from the data sent via the Events API and the Sift Javascript snippet.
Sift calculates risk scores for six types of abuse:
You can get one or more of these abuse scores at a time. We will calculate scores for any of the abuse detection products you’ve enabled. Here is the pricing for our abuse prevention products.
There are four different ways to get scores from Sift:
Whenever you send an event, you can receive a Sift Score back synchronously in the response back from the API. This is particularly useful for when you are sending an event that maps to a key decision point for your business. Typically, customers find it most useful to get scores back after creating an account, order, content, or adding a promotion, but you can get scores back after passing any of the events we support.
For events that you don't plan on using the score, it’s best that you don’t ask for the score as it will add some latency to the request.
To get scores back when sending an event, just append the query parameter return_score=true
to your API request.
You can also request scores for specific abuse types using the abuse_types
query parameter.
If you are an existing customer who has not yet upgraded to our abuse-specific scores, you will need to
set abuse_types
to legacy
to get a score.
To get score percentiles back when sending an event, just append the query parameter fields=score_percentiles
to your API request.
If you are using client libraries, please refer to the corresponding code snippet for the correct query parameter value.

Rate limited; too many events have been received in a short period of time
Note: This API is deprecated. To get scores without sending an event, we recommend using the Get Scores API.
The Score API is meant to get an up to date risk score when you don’t have new event data to pass. This is useful for when there is a time gap between when you send data for a user and are performing some action where you want to check risk and there is not a natural event to send at this point. Some examples of when you may want to check the score are before:
We do not recommend sending event data for a user and then very quickly attempting to get the score back with the Score API. If you need a score back quickly after an event, we can provide scores synchronously when events are sent. You can also synchronously get the status of a workflow and the score when you send an event.

Specified user does not have a previously computed score.
The Re-score API is meant to force the computation of a new Sift score. This is useful for when there is not a natural user event to send, but you would like to update and retrieve the risk score based on user activity that you know to have occurred since the last time the score was computed. If you do not believe that the user has had any activity since the last score computation, we recommend using the Get Scores API.
We do not recommend sending event data for a user and then very quickly attempting to get the score back with the Re-score API. If you need a score back quickly after an event, we can provide scores synchronously when events are sent. You can also synchronously get the status of a workflow and the score when you send an event.

Sift's two-factor authentication solution enables triggering one-time passcodes for risky login attempts based on our ATO risk score. Configuration includes integrating with our Verification API as well as an in-console setup. The in-console setup involves creating 2FA sms/email templates and generating CNAMEs to update your DNS records so we can send emails on your behalf.
This service is intended to be used to send OTPs to email addresses and/or phone numbers that have already been validated as real and able to be accessed by the account owners. This service is not designed to validate the ability to deliver messages to a phone number or email address.
The /check
call is used for sending the OTP provided by the end user to Sift. Sift then checks the validity of the OTP, checks rate limits, and responds with a decision whether the user should be able to proceed or not.
Use Sift's response to determine what action to take:
Authenticate your requests using the Basic HTTP Authorization scheme with your production API key as the user_id: Authorization: Basic base_64_encode(production_api_key + ":")
User ID of user being verified, e.g. johndoe123.
The code the user sent to the customer for validation.
This will be the event type that triggered the verification. Possible values are
$add_item_to_cart
, $add_promotion
, $content_status
,
$create_account
, $create_content
, $create_order
,
$flag_content
, $login
, $order_status
,
$remove_item_from_cart
, $transaction
,
$transaction
, $update_account
, $update_content
,
$update_order
and $update_password
.

A user can ask for a new OTP (one-time password) if they haven’t received the previous one, or in case the
previous OTP expired. The /resend
call generates a new OTP and sends it to the original recipient with the
same settings (template, verified event info, verification type).
Authenticate your requests using the Basic HTTP Authorization scheme with your production API key as the user_id: Authorization: Basic base_64_encode(production_api_key + ":")

Sift strongly recommends using Verification with Workflows. However, you may want to use the /send
endpoint
for testing purposes. The /send
endpoint initiates a user’s 2FA flow: it triggers the generation of a OTP
code that is stored by Sift and emails the code to the user. It will also produce a pending
$verification event in the user’s activity log.
Authenticate your requests using the Basic HTTP Authorization scheme with your production API key as the user_id: Authorization: Basic base_64_encode(production_api_key + ":")

The Device Fingerprinting API is a separate product from our machine learning products. Our machine learning uses device fingerprints in making risk assessments and connecting fraudulent users, but does not provide access to this API. For an overview and a use case example, see our Device Fingerprinting API tutorial.
Using the Device Fingerprinting API requires that you have installed our JavaScript snippet.
You can use the data returned from this endpoint to help investigate suspicious devices. Data like the first time you've seen a device in addition to how the Sift network has labeled a device can help you determine whether to allow a user to continue interacting with your site.
Example Request
$ curl -XGET 'https://api.sift.com/v3/accounts/{id}/devices/{id}' \n -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \n -u {API_KEY}:
Example Response
{ "id" : "{id}", "label" : "fraud", "labeled_at" : 1241241214000, "first_seen" : 1412990802000, "users" : { "data" : [ { "id" : "bob123", "href" : "https://api.sift.com/v3/accounts/{id}/users/bob123" } ] }, "network" : { "first_seen" : 1412386033000, "score" : 0.8 }, "sessions" : { "has_more" : false, "total_results" : 1, "data" : [ { "time" : 1412990802000 } ] } }
Your Sift Account ID, which can be found in the Sift Console under the Developer Tab
A device fingerprint is an identifier that represents a device.
A device fingerprint is an identifier that represents a device.
The time (represented as POSIX time in milliseconds) when Sift first identified this device on your site
A list of references to external entities that this object is associated with
The list of data elements

Data from our network of customers can help you make decisions on devices you've never seen before or haven't yet exhibited suspicious behavior.
The time (represented as POSIX time in milliseconds) when Sift first identified this device within our network of customers.
A representation of how likely this device is fraud based on labels we've received from our network of customers. The range of values is 0 to 1, where 1 represents a device that almost certainly is fraud.
NOT YET AVAILABLE. A representation of how often Sift has seen this device in our network of customers. You might consider scores where pervasiveness is 'low' less strongly than scores where pervasiveness is 'medium' or 'high'.
Use this endpoint to flag devices as either "fraud" or "not_fraud". Most likely you will need to link some concept of a user (e.g. email address or user id) to a Device Fingerprint at some point in your product flow. Then, when you find a user to be fraudulent, you should use this endpoint to flag the device the user originated from. You will prevent this device from interacting from your site using the /v3/accounts/{accountId}/session endpoint.
Example Request
$ curl -XPUT 'https://api.sift.com/v3/accounts/{id}/devices/{id}/label' \n -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \n -u {API_KEY}: \n -d '{ "label" : "fraud" }'
Example Response
{ "label" : "fraud" }
Your Sift Account ID, which can be found in the Sift Console under the Developer Tab
A device fingerprint is an identifier that represents a device.
Call this endpoint to determine whether you should allow the device seen for a given session id to continue interacting with your site. Embedded in the response is whether you've seen this device before as well as how you've labeled the device, if at all. If you've labeled a Device Fingerprint "fraud" in the past, you should most likely restrict this device's ability to interact with your site.
Example Request
$ curl -XGET 'https://api.sift.com/v3/accounts/{id}/sessions/465733823' \n -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \n -u {API_KEY}:
Example Response

The Partner API allows e-commerce platforms, agencies, and payment gateways/processors to programmatically create Sift accounts for their own merchants, and to interact with those accounts on behalf of their merchants.
We have written client libraries in several languages to make using this API even easier.
Partners can:
Before using the Partner API, please contact our partner support team and ask to be enabled as a partner.
The operations below will require two credentialing pieces of information:
In the following document "partner" will be the organization which is creating and using Sift accounts on behalf of a group of parties. We'll refer to those other parties as "merchants".
All authentication is based on API keys.
When doing partner-level or administrative actions (i.e. creating new accounts, configuring
notifications, or listing merchant accounts), the partner's API key should be included in the
request header under the Authorization
key, with the Basic
scheme. See the Account Creation
curl example below for a concrete example.
When performing actions at the level of a specific existing merchant account, use the API key associated with that merchant (which is included in the response when the merchant's Sift account is first created). When using the existing Events API or Labels API this will mean placing this API key into the JSON body. When making requests against the Scores API, the API key will appear as a query parameter.
The Labels API is not recommended for customers signing up after February 1st, 2017.
The Labels API is a way to tell Sift which transactions or events are fraudulent or legitimate. By telling us this information, Sift can identify abuse patterns unique to your business. Labels are used by the platform to generate the risk scores you within your application to automate your fraud fighting.
Labels API is no longer recommended for new customers. Decisions are now the recommended integration, they enable you to send more granular and powerful feedback to our machine learning system. Learn more about Decisions.
For customers already using Labels API, don't worry! It is still a supported integration method. If you are interested in migrating to Decisions, please contact your account manager or support@sift.com and we can help.
Note: you can find the documentation for the previous version of this API here.
To label a user ID, send an HTTP POST to our Label API endpoint:
https://api.sift.com/v205/users/INSERT_USER_ID/labels
Be sure to replace INSERT_USER_ID with the ID of the user you are labeling.
The response should have an HTTP status code
of 200
and a status
of 0
. See our
Error Codes for more information on non-zero statuses.

Your Sift API key.
Indicates whether a user is engaging in behavior deemed harmful to your business. Set to true if the user is engaging in abusive activity. Set to false if the user is engaging in valid activity.
The type of abuse for which you want to send a label. It's important to send a label specific to the type of abuse the user is committing so that Sift can learn about specific patterns of behavior. You'll end up with more accurate results this way.
Freeform text description of the user and/or incident triggering the label. Useful as annotation on why the label was added.
String describing the original source of the label information (e.g. payment gateway, manual review, etc.).
Unique identifier (e.g. email address) of the analyst who applied the label. Useful for tracking purposes after the fact.
If you are unsure whether a user ID is fraudulent or legitimate, you can always remove labels and leave the user
in a neutral state. To unlabel a user for a particular abuse type, send an HTTP DELETE to our Labels API endpoint
with the abuse_type
query parameter:
https://api.sift.com/v205/users/INSERT_USER_ID/labels?abuse_type=INSERT_ABUSE_TYPE
This API call should return an
HTTP status code of 204
.
In the rare case that you want to remove all labels for all abuse types for a particular user, send an HTTP
DELETE to our Labels API endpoint without the abuse_type
query parameter:
https://api.sift.com/v205/users/INSERT_USER_ID/labels
If you just want to change an existing label - for example, from fraudulent to legitimate - all you need to do is send a new label and we'll overwrite the existing value. Learn more about labeling a user.
Note: you can find the documentation for the previous version of this API here.

The PSP Merchants API allows payment service providers to create a summary of their merchant portfolio in the Sift console. The API is an automated way to onboard, off-board merchants providing fraud teams with a quick and easy way to view a summary of all merchants. A PSP can use this API to create a record of key metadata related to the merchant including MCC, Location, or an internal risk level.
