Feature
Consent API
Connect applications to consent checks, decision updates, and events through defined interfaces.
Applications need a consistent way to ask about or act on consent without each one creating its own interpretation of records. Systems may duplicate consent logic and drift from one another over time.
What Consent API does
A consent API provides application-facing interfaces for retrieving consent state, submitting changes, and exchanging consent-related events.
Applications need a consistent way to ask about or act on consent without each one creating its own interpretation of records.
It accepts authorized requests for checks or updates and returns or emits the defined consent information.
Why Consent API matters
Applications need a consistent way to ask about or act on consent without each one creating its own interpretation of records.
Systems may duplicate consent logic and drift from one another over time.
Each application can build a separate integration and data model for the same decision.
How Consent API works
- Authenticate and authorize the calling application.
- Receive a consent check, update, or event request.
- Validate the required identifiers and payload.
- Read or apply the defined operation.
- Return a result or publish the requested event.
Key capabilities
- Consent-state checks
- Decision updates
- Event exchange
- Defined request payloads
- Application authorization
Configuration & controls
Define allowed operations, client permissions, record identifiers, request validation, response handling, and error or retry behavior.
Workflow & architecture
The API is an integration boundary for consent operations; it does not itself provide the customer-facing interface or automate every internal workflow.
The consent API is the boundary for applications to check, update, or exchange consent information. It does not provide the customer interface or orchestrate every internal workflow.
Integrations
It is designed for applications that need to check, submit, update, or receive consent-related information. Endpoint availability and authentication must be confirmed during implementation.
Security & audit
Review calling application, operation, record reference, request result, timestamp, authorization outcome, and relevant change event.
Implementation
- Prioritize application use cases.
- Define request and response contracts.
- Set client permissions.
- Test validation and failure paths.
- Monitor adoption and integration errors.
