In today’s extractive world of APIs being shifted into higher gear and looking like a Studio Ghibli scene all powered by artificial intelligence I wanted to spend some time learning from the world of consent APIs. You know, where we have to ask people for permission for their digital and real-world bits? As with all APIs, I don’t see consent APIs as some silver bullet to this reality, but I do see a lot of existing intent and ideology baked into why these APIs exist. While there is mostly a regulatory requirement to do so, with every regulatory requirement there are always plenty of vultures hanging around to make money-—let’s take a look at some of the consent APIs out there.

- [**Salesforce**](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_rest.meta/api_rest/resources_consent_cdp_params.htm) - Providing consent for access to data in their cloud.
- [**Google**](https://cloud.google.com/healthcare-api/docs/concepts/consent-model) - Enabling consent in the healthcare space using Google.
- [**Google**](https://developers.google.com/tag-platform/security/guides/consent?consentmode=advanced) - Consent mode for content published to websites.
- [**Cloudflare**](https://developers.cloudflare.com/zaraz/consent-management/api/) - Consent at the DNS layer for websites in different locations.
- [**Adobe**](https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-platform/privacy/api/consent) - Consent of user personal data to satisfy regulations.
- [**Mastercard**](https://developer.mastercard.com/consent-management/documentation/) - Managing consent for users to share their payment data via 3rd party consumers.
- [**Barclays**](https://developer.barclays.com/apis/consent/41fde785-67a0-47e6-9a34-263d22a08028.bdn/documentation) - Managing consent for users to share their payment data via 3rd party consumers.

- [**Camara**](https://camaraproject.org/identity-and-consent-management/) - Identify and consent management at the network layer.
- [**OneTrust**](https://developer.onetrust.com/onetrust/reference/onetrust-api-reference) - Consent management as part of wider Trust compliance.
- [**CloudEntity**](https://cloudentity.com/developers/howtos/fdx/fdx-consent-apis/) - Another financial approach to consent but compliant with a specification.

You see a lot of healthcare and finance which are the top two areas of regulatory movement when it comes to your data. Then you see technology providers responding with API solutions to ensure compliance with the regulation. Now Camara is a little bit different. It is a standard responding to a regulatory need, but like the CloudEntity one is bound to an API specification. The healthcare, finance, and even network realms where consent is being standardized and regulated is miles away from the current artificial intelligence landscape, but is something we’ll see colliding pretty quickly.
