Links the authenticated client to an existing verified identity by matching the email set on the client record. Use this when a user has multiple Steam accounts — one document scan covers all of them. Authentication: Client Token (Authorization header)

Request

No body. The identity is looked up automatically by the client’s email address (set during POST /client/verification/start).

Requirements

  • The client must have an email set on their account (provided during /start).
  • A verified identity with a matching email must exist (case-insensitive).
  • The identity must not be banned.
  • The identity must not have reached its maximum linked account limit (default 10).
On success, the client’s verificationLevel is immediately set to 1.

Response

Trust Cascade

Linking is also a security mechanism. If any linked account triggers a deposit reversal, the trust factor is destroyed on every account tied to the same identity. This is by design — it’s what makes raising instant credit caps safe.
