agentvisa-fastapi 0.1.0

FastAPI middleware for AgentVisa AI agent verification

agentvisa-fastapi

FastAPI middleware for AgentVisa — verify that incoming AI agents were authorized by a real, 5-factor biometric-verified human before granting access.

Install

pip install agentvisa-fastapi

Quick start

from fastapi import FastAPI, Depends
from agentvisa_fastapi import AgentVisaConfig, AgentVisaMiddleware, require_agentvisa

app = FastAPI()

config = AgentVisaConfig(
    api_key=os.environ["AGENTVISA_API_KEY"],   # your Widget Holder API key — server-side only
    widget_id=os.environ["AGENTVISA_WIDGET_ID"],  # from your AgentVisa dashboard
)

# Add middleware — enriches every request with request.state.agentvisa
app.add_middleware(AgentVisaMiddleware, config=config)

# Protected route — agents without a valid AgentVisa token get 401
@app.get("/api/orders")
async def get_orders(av=Depends(require_agentvisa(config))):
    return {"orders": [...], "verified_human": av.human_name}

# Unprotected route — check manually if you want soft enforcement
@app.get("/api/public")
async def public(request: Request):
    av = request.state.agentvisa
    if av.valid:
        return {"message": "Hello, verified agent!", "plan": av.plan}
    return {"message": "Hello — consider getting an AgentVisa for full access."}

How it works

When an AI agent hits your site, AgentVisa requires a two-step handshake:

1. Your server returns 401 with X-AgentVisa-Required: your_widget_id — this middleware does that automatically via require_agentvisa.
2. The agent calls AgentVisa to get a short-lived TemporaryToken scoped to your site.
3. The agent retries with X-AgentVisa-Token: tmp_... in the header.
4. This middleware calls /v1/verify with your API key and returns the result.

The human behind the agent completed 5-factor biometric verification (email, phone, cross-verification, Face ID / Touch ID, and a human assertion) when they got their AgentVisa.

Configuration

AgentVisaConfig(
    api_key="wk_...",            # required — your Widget Holder API key
    widget_id="wgt_...",         # required — your widget ID
    api_base="https://api.agentvisa.ai",  # optional — override for self-hosted
    timeout=5.0,                 # optional — /v1/verify timeout in seconds
)

Security note: Never expose api_key in client-side code, environment variables that get bundled, or logs. Treat it like a database password.

AgentVisaResult fields

Field	Type	Description
valid	bool	Whether the agent is verified
reason	str	"ok", "invalid", "expired", "revoked", "reverification_required", "token_not_present"
plan	str	"basic" or "pro"
widget_id	str	Your widget ID
verified_at	datetime | None	When the token was issued
expires_at	datetime | None	When the token expires
human_name	str | None	Pro plan only
five_factor	"y" | "n" | None	Pro plan only
age_over_18	"y" | "n" | "null" | None	Pro plan only
age_over_21	"y" | "n" | "null" | None	Pro plan only
multiple_agents_authorized	"y" | "n" | None	Pro plan only
verifications_today	int | None	Pro plan only
skipped	bool	True when no token was in the request

Using without the middleware

If you don't want to add middleware, use the dependency standalone — it will call /v1/verify directly:

from agentvisa_fastapi import AgentVisaConfig, require_agentvisa

config = AgentVisaConfig(api_key="...", widget_id="...")

@app.post("/checkout")
async def checkout(av=Depends(require_agentvisa(config))):
    # verified agents only
    ...

Using get_agentvisa for soft enforcement

from agentvisa_fastapi import AgentVisaConfig, get_agentvisa, AgentVisaResult

config = AgentVisaConfig(api_key="...", widget_id="...")

@app.get("/search")
async def search(av: AgentVisaResult = Depends(get_agentvisa(config))):
    results = perform_search()
    if not av.valid:
        # Return limited results for unverified agents
        return {"results": results[:3], "note": "Get an AgentVisa for full results"}
    return {"results": results}

Reverification

When an agent's daily verification limit is hit, /v1/verify returns reason: "reverification_required". This middleware propagates that reason in the 401 response so your users know to check their email.

The require_agentvisa dependency returns:

HTTP 401
X-AgentVisa-Required: your_widget_id
{"detail": "AgentVisa reverification required — check email"}

The AgentVisa MCP server handles this automatically — it calls POST /v1/holder/reverify to trigger the re-verification email without the human needing to intervene.
