The API changelog lists the changes to the Dojah API, SDKs and libraries. If you’re looking for information about feature additions and product updates, see the product blog.
The changelog below reflects new product developments and updates on a monthly basis.
Government Data Verification Page Redesign: The page has been restructured to improve information clarity and user experience. Previously, users often mistook the verification method buttons (SMS, WhatsApp, & Selfie) as the final action instead of a selection step. This confusion led to drop-offs as users were unaware they needed to click the Continue button to proceed. The redesign ensures clearer guidance, reducing friction in the verification process.
Government ID Upload Instructions: Users now receive clear guidance on uploading the front or back of their ID documents, reducing errors and improving the verification process.
Sandbox Government Data Page: A sample data display has been introduced, allowing users to easily access and understand the verification process.

With our latest update, you can now enable or disable the file upload option on the Government issued ID page, Business ID page and Other ID/Document page. This update aligns with the new lending policy, ensuring compliance and flexibility for your business.
Camera Flip Functionality:
