Uploading documents to an entity

Instead of using a verification link, use this endpoint to upload documents directly via API.

This endpoint allows you to upload entity documents directly via API. You may want to do this to fully customise the look and feel of the verification process within your website or application.

Note: You don't need to use this endpoint if you're verifying entities using a verification link.

Each call can only receive one document. Make sure to send the necessary data in the docSubType parameter.
