Verfi

TCPA consent verification for lead generation. Use when adding consent capture to web forms, verifying lead consent before contact, claiming/managing consent sessions, pulling proof for disputed leads, or integrating with the Verfi API. Covers SDK installation, API authentication, session lifecycle (create → claim → verify → proof), and compliance workflows.

Verfi — Consent Verification for Lead Gen

Verfi captures verifiable proof of consumer consent. Publishers add a script tag to capture sessions; buyers verify consent via API before contacting leads.

When to Use This Skill

• Adding consent capture to a web form
• Checking if a lead has valid TCPA consent
• Claiming sessions for long-term retention
• Pulling machine-readable proof for disputes
• Integrating Verfi into an existing lead gen pipeline

Quick Start

1. Capture Consent (Publisher)

Add the SDK to any page with a form:

html

<script src="https://sdk.verfi.io/v1/verfi.js" data-key="pk_YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY" async></script>

The SDK auto-detects forms, records interactions (mouse, clicks, keystrokes, scroll), and generates a Verfi ID (VF-xxxxxxxx) on form submission.

2. Verify Consent (Buyer)

bash

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_YOUR_SECRET_KEY" \
  https://api.verfi.io/tenant/v1/sessions/VF-a1b2c3d4/proof

Returns consent status, interaction metrics, form data, device info, and tamper verification. All PII is SHA-256 hashed.

3. Claim Session

bash

curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_YOUR_SECRET_KEY" \
  https://api.verfi.io/tenant/v1/sessions/VF-a1b2c3d4/claim

Starts 3-year retention. Unclaimed sessions expire in 72 hours.

Authentication

Two key types:

Key	Format	Use
Public	pk_...	SDK script tag (client-side)
Secret	sk_...	API calls (server-side, Bearer token)

Secret keys have scopes: sessions:claim, sessions:unclaim, sessions:search, sessions:proof, sessions:expiration.

Generate keys in the Verfi dashboard under Integration > API Keys.

API Endpoints

Base URL: https://api.verfi.io/tenant/v1

All endpoints require Authorization: Bearer sk_... header.

Method	Path	Scope	Description
GET	/sessions	—	List claimed sessions (paginated)
GET	/sessions/{verfiID}	sessions:search	Look up session, verify PII hashes
GET	/sessions/{verfiID}/proof	sessions:proof	Machine-readable proof data
POST	/sessions/{verfiID}/claim	sessions:claim	Claim session (3-year retention)
POST	/sessions/{verfiID}/unclaim	sessions:unclaim	Release session (30-day retention)
PUT	/sessions/{verfiID}/expiration	sessions:expiration	Update expiration date

Common Workflows

Publisher: Add Consent Capture to a Form

1. Get a public API key from the Verfi dashboard
2. Add the SDK script tag to the page (before </body>)
3. The SDK auto-records sessions — no form modifications needed
4. Each form submission creates a session with a unique Verfi ID
5. Pass the Verfi ID alongside the lead data to buyers

Buyer: Verify and Claim a Lead

1. Receive lead with Verfi ID from publisher
2. Call GET /sessions/{verfiID}/proof to check consent
3. Verify consent.given === true and consent.tcpa_compliant === true
4. Optionally verify PII binding with GET /sessions/{verfiID}?email={hash}&phone={hash}
5. Call POST /sessions/{verfiID}/claim to start retention
6. Contact the consumer with documented consent proof

Dispute: Pull Proof for a Challenged Lead

1. Look up the Verfi ID associated with the disputed lead
2. Call GET /sessions/{verfiID}/proof for machine-readable proof
3. Proof includes: consent language, interaction timeline, form data, device info, tamper detection
4. Share the proof_url for a human-readable proof page
5. Integrity hash verifies the proof hasn't been tampered with

Audit: Bulk Verify Consent Across a Lead List

1. Call GET /sessions to list all claimed sessions
2. For each session, call GET /sessions/{verfiID}/proof
3. Flag sessions where consent.given === false or verification.tamper_detected === true
4. Unclaim any sessions that don't meet compliance requirements

Troubleshooting

Problem	Fix
SDK not recording sessions	Check public key is correct, script loads without errors
401 Unauthorized	Verify secret key, check Authorization: Bearer sk_... format
403 Insufficient permissions	API key missing required scope — update in dashboard
Session not claimable (409)	Session already claimed or status isn't "recorded"
Proof shows consent.given: false	Form may not have consent language/checkbox detected by SDK
