verifyLocation#

All queries to the Unveiler API use the verifyLocation query. It's arguments consist of the location where the user claims to be and context of the user's location, which acts as the proof.

Claims#

The claim can be of two types, either it concerns a point, in which it has as it's arguments location which represents a coordinate and radius which is the distance in meters the user's location is allowed to differ from their claimed location.

The other type of claim is an area claim, which is a polygon of coordinates. In this case the location of the user needs to be located inside the polygon for the claim to be granted.

Context#

The context of the requests of one field gnssLog. The gnssLog field are raw GNSS measurements in the GNSSLogger format. These logs are a single multiline string, with each measurements on its own line. This log should include the headers.

Field nameValueDescription
statusenum, either GRANTED, REVOKED or ERRORThe result of the query
messageString or nullAn optional message used to clarify why a query failed.
tokenResponseTokenResponseContains the granted token when the location was successfully verified, null when the verification failed.
