4️⃣Customer Creation

This step assumes you have successfully authenticated your API credentials using Authentication and have followed Request Signatures and Idempotency guides to configure your requests

Now that you can make authenticated requests to the API, you are officially ready to onboard new customers with our platform. To do so, you need to use /customers POST request.

Specified chainId is expected to follow the convention outlined in Account Identifier. For example, in order to onboard a customer using zkSync Era wallet with address 0x22227A31dd842196A246d8f3b775998560eAa61d on Goerli Testnet, you can submit a following request:

{
  "chainId": "eip155:280:0x22227A31dd842196A246d8f3b775998560eAa61d",
  "externalId": "27c9aa3b-f12d-43b9-8e91-5264ccc998de"
}

If a customer with specified chainId and externalId is not onboarded in our system yet, you will receive a response with status 201 (Created) which looks similar to the following:

{
    "chainId": "eip155:280:0x22227A31dd842196A246d8f3b775998560eAa61d",

If everything went well, you will receive a customer challenge to sign as a base64 encoded string. This is required to proceed to verification stage. Please, follow Sign in With X guide for more details on signing a customer challenge.

In order to submit a signed challenge, use a POST request to /customers/{customerId}/challenge/sign endpoint.

Please, not that the signature also must be a base64 encoded string. If signature is verified, you will receive an empty response with status code 204 (No Content).

If, for any reason, the original challenge is lost or cannot be signed immediately, you can fetch it again using a dedicated endpoint. If we encounter an error during signature validation via /sign endpoint, a new challenge will be issued for you to retrieve.

We enforce a 1 hour expiration window via our API for all issued challenges for security purposes. If a challenge hasn't been signed within 1 hour from issue, we will generate a new one and make it available through this endpoint.
