Sumsub — Device Intelligence via the WebSDK Add Device Intelligence (DI) to a project that already embeds the Sumsub WebSDK. DI is the fraud detection layer that captures low level device/browser signals (device fingerprint, bot/automation, VPN/proxy, emulator, incognito, reused device) and attaches them to the applicant as device risk labels that feed risk scoring. The JS module that does the capture is called Fisherman (npm @sumsub/fisherman ) — same thing, different name. Inside the WebSDK you almost never touch it directly; the SDK ships and drives it for you. ⚠️ Sandbox tokens only Do not accept or use a production App Token / secret during integration work. Insist on a sandbox pair from <https://cockpit.sumsub.com/checkus/home?sbx=true — Connect Sumsub to your AI agent Build & configure Generate token . Token + secret are revealed once at creation; copy both before closing the dialog. Helper scripts in sibling skills enforce this with an sbx: prefix check; the curl recipes here assume the same. Deeper auth mechanics: [ sumsub api auth ](../sumsub api auth/SKILL.md). The lifecycle in one picture The headline: for a standard WebSDK integration, DI is a dashboard toggle, not new code. Stages 3–4 below are the advanced (self rendered) path and the result reading details. Stage 1 — Enable device capture on the level DI rides along automatically in WebSDK 2.0 and the Mobile SDKs only when "Capture device data" is enabled in the verification level settings . In the dashboard: open the level → Device intelligence section → tick Capture device data . If you don't see the setting, DI isn't provisioned for the workspace — contact Sumsub to enable the product before continuing. Optional BYOK : you can supply your own Fingerprint Pro credentials (public + secret API key) under DevSpace → Integrations → Fingerprint so devices are captured under your Fingerprint account. Without BYOK, Sumsub's own credentials are used — both work; BYOK only matters if you already run Fingerprint Pro. That's the entire required setup. Re launch your existing WebSDK flow and devices start getting captured. Stage 2 — The automatic in SDK lifecycle (no code) With "Capture device data" on, the WebSDK, using the same access token your [ sumsub integrate websdk ](../sumsub integrate websdk/SKILL.md) token endpoint already mints: 1. Initializes Fisherman against the SDK's API host once the SDK config loads. 2. Fingerprints the device on each step transition, binding it to the current (applicantId, attemptId) . 3. Re initializes on a level transition (the attemptId changes), so a multi level flow gets a fresh device binding per level. 4. Forwards the resulting device id to the backend on subsequent calls so the capture is tied to the applicant. You do not write, configure, or call any of this. It is listed so you can recognise it in logs / network traffic ( /di/info , an /bhv/... events POST, an X External Device Fingerprint request header). Stage 3 — Advanced: self rendered / headless wiring Only relevant if you do not use the prebuilt snsWebSdk widget and drive the verification API yourself. Then you own the Fisherman lifecycle. Mirror the SDK's own behaviour — see [ examples/fisherman self render.ts ](examples/fisherman self render.ts): Key rules the SDK follows and you must too: Two layer gate. The SDK gates init() itself on the config level flag config.deviceIntelligenceSettings.enabled — when DI is off for the level it never calls init() . Then it gates each fingerprint() on the runtime flag fisherman.isDeviceIntelligenceEnabled (from /di/info ). Mirror both: skip init when the config flag is false, never fingerprint unless the runtime flag is true (it errors / wastes a call). On a level transition ( attemptId changes) destroy() then init() again before the next fingerprint() , so devices bind to the right level. Forward the returned visitorId as the X External Device Fingerprint header on the verification API calls that follow the capture. (This header is device/stats enrichment — the actual applicant binding is the per attempt deviceBindingId ( applicantId attemptId ) above, not the header.) Stage 4 — Read the device signals DI does not change how you read the verdict — it enriches it. Keep the server as source of truth rule from the base WebSDK skill (webhook + authenticated applicant GET), and read the device data alongside it. In the dashboard: Applicant profile → Devices tab — every device seen, with risk labels. Completed verification → Device Check block. Transactions → a device row → View device details . Via API / webhooks: the device risk labels land on the applicant , not in the webhook payload. The applicantReviewed webhook carries the verdict only ( reviewResult ) — treat it as the trigger to read the applicant server side (same App Token + HMAC auth as the base skill), here keyed by your externalUserId : Runnable version of that GET: [ examples/read device results.sh ](examples/read device results.sh). The full device signal / risk label catalog and where each surfaces: [ references/device signals.md ](references/device signals.md). Sandbox testing Sandbox has no real device signals — Fingerprint is simulated. Devices are still captured and risk labels still appear, but values are synthetic. For deterministic test outcomes the module accepts a simulationConfig ( FpSimulationConf ) on init to force specific signals; only relevant on the self rendered path. The prebuilt WebSDK handles sandbox simulation itself. Run a full sandbox WebSDK verification (see the base skill's test docs) and confirm a device appears under the applicant's Devices tab. Going live checklist [ ] "Capture device data" is enabled on the production level (it's per level, per workspace — enabling it in sandbox does not carry over). [ ] Your server reads device risk labels from the applicant / webhook, not from the browser. [ ] If you gate access on device risk, you decided which labels are blocking vs informational ( references/device signals.md ). [ ] BYOK Fingerprint keys (if used) are the production keys in the prod workspace, sandbox keys only in sandbox. [ ] Self rendered path only: isDeviceIntelligenceEnabled gate, per attemptId re init, and X External Device Fingerprint forwarding all verified against a real sandbox run.
