Getting Started

Integrating Relay requires two components working together:

Widget — collects and verifies the end user’s identity, creating the verification inquiry
Server-side integration — retrieves the claim result from the completed inquiry

Embed Persona’s Widget in your frontend to handle the user-facing verification flow. The Widget creates the inquiry and runs the user through the configured verification steps.

2. Server-side integration

Once the Widget completes a verification, your server retrieves the claim result. Choose the integration method that best fits your stack:

Method	Best for
Server SDK	TypeScript/Node.js backends. Easiest to integrate — handles all cryptography out of the box
Edge Worker	Teams whose backend isn’t TypeScript but whose stack includes Cloudflare or Vercel — second fastest to spin up
Relay Gateway Service	Backends without the right language support for blind RSA or OHTTP — offloads all cryptography to a self-hosted service
API	Teams who want full control and are willing to implement the Privacy Pass cryptography themselves — works with any language or runtime
