# Instant Compliance API

## Docs

- [Get a customer's AML status](https://docs.instantcompliance.ai/api-reference/customers/aml.md): AML compliance sub-resource. Returns only the AML status and category flags — useful for reporting-only integrations that hold the narrower `aml:read` scope instead of `customers:read`.
- [Create or upsert a customer](https://docs.instantcompliance.ai/api-reference/customers/create.md): Ingest an individual customer. The record is created with `kyc_status = NOT_STARTED` and `added_via = INTEGRATION`. **No KYC is triggered and no credits are charged** — your back-office team triggers verification from inside Instant Compliance.
- [Get a customer](https://docs.instantcompliance.ai/api-reference/customers/get.md)
- [List customers](https://docs.instantcompliance.ai/api-reference/customers/list.md): List individual customers in your organisation. Use this as a polling source — pass `updated_since` so each poll only returns records that changed since the previous run.
- [Update a customer](https://docs.instantcompliance.ai/api-reference/customers/update.md): Partial update of a record you have ingested. Identity fields (`fullName`, `email`) are frozen once the customer has been verified — attempting to change them returns **422 validation_failed**.
- [API reference](https://docs.instantcompliance.ai/api-reference/introduction.md): Every endpoint, every parameter, every response.
- [Authentication](https://docs.instantcompliance.ai/authentication.md): API keys, scopes, and how to keep them safe.
- [Customer lifecycle](https://docs.instantcompliance.ai/concepts/customer-lifecycle.md): How a customer record moves from API ingest through KYC and AML.
- [Data minimisation](https://docs.instantcompliance.ai/concepts/data-minimisation.md): What we never send to integrators, and why.
- [Errors](https://docs.instantcompliance.ai/concepts/errors.md): The error envelope and what each code means.
- [Idempotency](https://docs.instantcompliance.ai/concepts/idempotency.md): Make every retry safe.
- [Pagination](https://docs.instantcompliance.ai/concepts/pagination.md): Cursor pagination for list endpoints.
- [Rate limits](https://docs.instantcompliance.ai/concepts/rate-limits.md): How fast you can call the API, and what to do when you hit the ceiling.
- [Scopes](https://docs.instantcompliance.ai/concepts/scopes.md): Least-privilege access control for API keys.
- [Upsert by external_id](https://docs.instantcompliance.ai/guides/upsert-by-external-id.md): The right way to wire create-or-update from your CRM.
- [Zapier integration](https://docs.instantcompliance.ai/guides/zapier-integration.md): Wire your CRM into Instant Compliance with no code.
- [Introduction](https://docs.instantcompliance.ai/introduction.md): Push customers into Instant Compliance from your CRM and pull KYC / AML status back into your systems.
- [Quickstart](https://docs.instantcompliance.ai/quickstart.md): From signing in to ingesting your first customer in under five minutes.
- [Webhooks](https://docs.instantcompliance.ai/webhooks/overview.md): Real-time event delivery — coming in v2.
