Co-WIN develops new Application programming interface to enable checking of individual's status of Covid-19 vaccination

New Delhi: Co-WIN has developed a new Application programming interface called ‘Know Your Customer’s or Client’s Vaccination Status - KYC-VS. This will enable entities to check an individual’s status of vaccination through CoWIN.

To use this API, an individual needs to enter his or her mobile number and name. Thereafter, they will get an OTP which they have to



enter. In return, Co-WIN will send a response to the verifying entity on the individual’s status of vaccination. If the response of Co-WIN - 0 - means Person is not vaccinated, 1 - Person is partially vaccinated and 2 - Person is fully vaccinated. This response will be digitally signed and can be shared instantly with the verifying entity.
