Uploading encoded 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 base64 encoded entity documents directly via API, instead of using a URL. 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.
