These applications can then run on various electronic devices like smartphones, computers, kiosks, etc., enabling seamless use of Aadhaar services. While the API isn&#8217;t integrated into the *hardware* device, the software on the device *uses* the API to interact with the Aadhaar system. This is a common implication of providing open APIs for a platform. Statement 2: Aadhaar authentication methods include demographic, OTP, fingerprint, and iris scans. Open APIs enable applications to access and utilize these authentication methods online. Therefore, online authentication using iris (one of the supported methods) is indeed possible through the Aadhaar APIs. Both statements reflect potential uses and capabilities enabled by the open APIs.<br \/>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The identity platform &#8216;Aadhaar&#8217; provides open &#8220;Application Programming Interfaces (APIs)&#8221;.
