Read a process by the id Human Plugin returned on create.
GET /v1/processes/{id}
id is the UUID from the create response. There is no authentication header and no client scoping: any caller that can reach Human Plugin can read any of its processes.
curl http://human-plugin.internal:8080/v1/processes/b063041c-7529-4e70-a2b4-c71c00f19801
When the result arrives
- A pending process (
PROCESS_STATE_CREATED) is checked on each read, and answered with its result as soon as there is one. - A finished or failed process is final, and is answered as is.
- A create that was interrupted is answered as failed about 70 seconds after it started.
Reading is the only way a pending process advances: there is no background job, and the return to your callbackUri does not update Human Plugin.
Response
200 OK with the same shape as a create: id, state and data.
A pending Journey:
{ "id": "b063041c-7529-4e70-a2b4-c71c00f19801", "state": "PROCESS_STATE_CREATED", "data": {} }
Finished and failed processes
A finished process returns its result in data: who the person is, in humanToken, and the person's intelligence, in ndocs, plus liveness when the flow checks it. A revalidation returns humanTokenMatch instead of humanToken. Each field is described in The result in data. A failed process returns PROCESS_STATE_FAILED with an empty data.
A finished process:
{
"id": "b063041c-7529-4e70-a2b4-c71c00f19801",
"state": "PROCESS_STATE_FINISHED",
"data": {
"humanToken": { "value": "6d3d71…", "status": "validated" },
"liveness": { "value": "live", "status": "validated" },
"ndocs": {
"distinctClientsCount": 2,
"transactionsCount": 3,
"firstSeen": "2026-09-08",
"lastSeen": "2026-11-03",
"credentials": [
{ "type": "DUI_TYPE_NG_BVN", "countryCode": "NGA", "distinctCredentialCount": 1 }
]
}
}
}
A finished revalidation, where ndocs describes the person you confirmed:
{
"id": "7f2c9a10-3d4e-4b5f-8a61-0c9e2d7b4a35",
"state": "PROCESS_STATE_FINISHED",
"data": {
"humanTokenMatch": "true",
"liveness": { "value": "live", "status": "validated" },
"ndocs": {
"distinctClientsCount": 2,
"transactionsCount": 4,
"firstSeen": "2026-09-08",
"lastSeen": "2026-11-04",
"credentials": [
{ "type": "DUI_TYPE_NG_BVN", "countryCode": "NGA", "distinctCredentialCount": 1 }
]
}
}
}
A failed process:
{ "id": "c41e8b27-95d0-4a8f-b3e6-2f7a1d9c0e58", "state": "PROCESS_STATE_FAILED", "data": {} }
The Journey token and link are returned only by the create. Keep them from that response.
