Short URL field in age verification API responses

Age verification creation responses (from endpoints such as POST /age-verification/perform-access-age-verification) now include shortUrl in addition to id and url.

What's new​

  • Compact link: shortUrl is a shorter link that redirects to the same verification experience as the full url. Use it when a long query string is a poor fit, for example for QR codes or when the user completes verification on another device.
  • Full URL unchanged: The session JWT remains on the full url (token query parameter). Don't try to shorten or rebuild that URL yourself.
  • Opaque value: Treat shortUrl as an opaque string. Display or encode it as returned, and don't rely on a fixed path or query layout, which might change in the future.
