Description: Overview of Microblink Platform Agent and Edge APIs for identity verification
---

# Overview

The Microblink Platform exposes two APIs:

- **Agent API**, which is used for authentication between the application which scans identity documents (one of our [SDKs](/platform/sdk)) and the Microblink backend.
  It is also used to manage transactions and to get analytics.
- **Edge API**, which is used by scanning applications (SDKs) to progress individual transactions according to the established workflow.

## Region

The API endpoints are available in the following regions:

- `us-east`
- `eu`

Use the appropriate region for your deployment in your requests.

## Base URL

For the **Agent API**, the base URL is:

```
https://api.{region}.platform.microblink.com/agent
```

For the **Edge API**, the base URL is:

```
https://api.{region}.platform.microblink.com/edge
```

## OpenAPI schema

An OpenAPI schema (v3.0.1) is available for both API endpoints.
