## OpenAPI

````yaml /api-reference/specs/quickcheck.json get /v2/api/addresses/{addressId}
openapi: 3.0.3
info:
  title: Youverify Quick Check API
  version: 2.0.0
  description: >-
    All Quick Check endpoints (KYC identity verification by country, KYB
    business verification by country, and AML/watchlist screening). Assembled
    from doc.youverify.co/api-reference-sdk/api-reference/quick-check, endpoints
    kept in the exact order they appear in the GitBook navigation. Some
    endpoints (address-verification "create a candidate" / "get states" /
    "retrieve" / "history") are documented twice in the source docs — once for
    individuals under KYC, once for businesses under KYB — and are the exact
    same request/response shape. They appear ONCE here (at their first, KYC,
    position) tagged with both sections so the file stays valid OpenAPI.


    Account-wide error responses (401, 429, 500 on every endpoint; 402 on paid
    verification calls; 404 on lookup-by-ID calls) are sourced verbatim from
    Youverify's own "Youverify OS Error Codes" and "Response Codes" pages
    (doc.youverify.co/youverify-os-error-codes, /get-started/response-codes) and
    attached via components.responses, since those pages document them
    account-wide rather than per endpoint. Any error example that a specific
    endpoint's own page actually showed is kept exactly as documented there
    instead of being replaced by these.
