The Pruvan Validator is a tool that can be used to verify the authenticity of Pruvan photos and surveys. Enter the unique identifier for your photo or survey and we will display the original from our server. This lets you compare your copy to ensure that it has not been tampered with. When photos are equipped with a barcode, simply scanning the barcode will bring up that image in the Validator.
How to Verify an Image or Survey
Open the Photo / Survey in the Pruvan Validator
With a Barcode
Using your smart phones barcode scanner; scan the barcode from the image you wish to verify. If your scanner does not automatically open your browser, tap the button to open the link. You will be taken directly to the Pruvan Validator and the image will load automatically.
Without a Barcode
You will need the UUID of the photo / survey you wish to validate. For those of you using an integration the UUID is sent with the photo / survey as part of the item's JSON data. For everyone else you can get the photo / survey JSON from your Pruvan Downloader as long as you have the Save Metadata option on. Then follow these steps:
- Open the JSON file
- Copy the UUID from the uuid field
- Open your browser
- Go to the Validator web page
- Paste the UUID in to the UUID field
- Click Validate
