# API
## verify
*(async)* doip.verify(uri, [fingerprint], [opts])
Verifies the identity behind the provided **uri** using the **fingerprint**.
**Parameters**
| Name | Type | Mandatory | Description |
|-------------|--------|-----------|----------------------------------|
| uri | string | true | the URI to an identity to verify |
| fingerprint | string | false | the fingerprint of the claim |
| opts | object | false | options (see below) |
**Options**
| Name | Type | Default value | Description |
|-------------------|---------|----------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
| returnMatchesOnly | boolean | false | only return matching service providers, do not attempt verification |
| proxyPolicy | string | 'adaptive' | when to use a proxy ['adaptive', 'always', 'never'] |
| doipProxyHostname | string | 'proxy.keyoxide.org' | the hostname of the proxy server |
When the `proxyPolicy` option is to `adaptive`, the chosen strategy is
the one suggested by the service provider.
**Returns**
An object with the results of the identity claim verification containing a
boolean named `isVerified` and a [serviceproviderData](serviceproviderdataobject.md#service-provider-data-object)
object.
```json
{
"isVerified": true,
"serviceproviderData": { ... }
}
```
If `opts.returnMatchesOnly` is `true`, this function instead returns a list of
service providers matched to the provided `uri`.
