Use Cases

Retrieve KYC information using a CPF or CNPJ document:
async function searchByDocument(document) {
  try {
    const kyc = await getKYCByDocument(document);
    
    if (Array.isArray(kyc) && kyc.length === 0) {
      console.log('No KYC found for this document');
      return null;
    }
    
    const person = kyc.persons[0];
    console.log(`Found KYC for ${person.name}`);
    console.log(`Document: ${person.document}`);
    console.log(`Status: ${kyc.status.name}`);
    console.log(`Reason: ${kyc.reason.name}`);
    
    return kyc;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error searching KYC:', error);
  }
}
Check the status and documents for a specific document number:
async function checkDocumentStatus(document) {
  try {
    const kyc = await getKYCByDocument(document);
    
    if (Array.isArray(kyc) && kyc.length === 0) {
      return { found: false };
    }
    
    const approvedDocs = kyc.documents.filter(doc => doc.status_id === 3);
    
    return {
      found: true,
      status: kyc.status.name,
      totalDocuments: kyc.documents.length,
      approvedDocuments: approvedDocs.length,
      persons: kyc.persons.map(p => p.name)
    };
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error checking document status:', error);
  }
}
Check if a document has an approved KYC before processing a transaction:
async function validateDocumentForTransaction(document) {
  const kyc = await getKYCByDocument(document);
  
  if (Array.isArray(kyc) && kyc.length === 0) {
    return {
      valid: false,
      reason: 'No KYC record found'
    };
  }
  
  const isApproved = kyc.status.id === 3;
  
  return {
    valid: isApproved,
    kycId: kyc.id,
    status: kyc.status.name,
    reason: isApproved ? 'KYC approved' : `KYC status: ${kyc.status.name}`
  };
}

// Usage
const validation = await validateDocumentForTransaction('12345678900');
if (validation.valid) {
  console.log('Document validated, proceed with transaction');
} else {
  console.log(`Cannot proceed: ${validation.reason}`);
}
Since this endpoint returns only the most recent KYC, use it to check current status:
async function getMostRecentKYC(document) {
  const kyc = await getKYCByDocument(document);
  
  if (Array.isArray(kyc) && kyc.length === 0) {
    return null;
  }
  
  const person = kyc.persons[0];
  
  return {
    id: kyc.id,
    person: person.name,
    document: person.document,
    personType: person.type_person,
    status: kyc.status.name,
    reason: kyc.reason.name,
    lastUpdate: kyc.updated_at,
    createdAt: kyc.created_at
  };
}

​
Best Practices

Document Format: Send only digits in the document field, without special characters like dots, hyphens, or slashes.
Most Recent Record: This endpoint returns only the most recent KYC record for the provided document. If you need historical records, use the List KYC endpoint.
Empty Array: An empty array response indicates no KYC record exists for the provided document, which is different from a 404 error.
