sheeridVerify is a Node.js web console that lets you queue and run verification tasks against the SheerID service. It mimics the real flow with a browser, file uploads and status polling, but never sends real data without permission.
Why it matters. Developers building or studying identity-verification pipelines can use it to experiment safely and learn the API without risking real accounts.
