# Combining Products

Authologic API allows you to combine multiple products together. That means that you can start with a single product and
expand your
integration later without the need of rebuilding everything from scratch.

Let's have a look on how we can combine multiple products together, by starting with the simple example of identity
checking, so from
using Authologic identity product ([learn more](/docs/products/identity)). By now you already know that we should
start by
creating a conversation. We can do that by using the following API call:

<note>

The Authologic API uses the `Basic Auth` based authentication described, among others, at
[here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication). Username and *API key* should be used as data.
By using the `curl` tool we use the `-u` option which is responsible for the use of `Basic Auth`.

</note>

```shell
curl -X POST -u my_login "https://sandbox.authologic.com/api/conversations" \
-H "Accept: application/vnd.authologic.v1.1+json" \
-H "Content-Type: application/vnd.authologic.v1.1+json" \
-d '{
    "userKey": "7dfb9ded-c38f-49ae-95e2-307283a0b1f6",
    "returnUrl": "https://id.sandbox.authologic.com/c/{conversationId}/thankYou",
    "callbackUrl": "your_callback_url_here",
    "query": {
      "identity": {
        "requireOneOf": [
          [ "PERSON_NAME_FIRSTNAME", "PERSON_NAME_LASTNAME"]
        ]
      }
    }
}'
```

In the highlighted lines of the above command you can see that we are using the `identity` product that Authologic
provides. We
can now add the second product, for example the AML one ([learn more](/docs/products/aml)). We do it by including
additional
section in the `query` part of the above command, for example:

```shell
curl -X POST -u my_login "https://sandbox.authologic.com/api/conversations" \
-H "accept: application/vnd.authologic.v1.1+json" \
-H "Content-Type: application/vnd.authologic.v1.1+json" \
-d '{
    "userKey": "7dfb9ded-c38f-49ae-95e2-307283a0b1f6",
    "returnUrl": "https://id.sandbox.authologic.com/c/{conversationId}/thankYou",
    "callbackUrl": "your_callback_url_here",
    "query": {
        "identity": {
            "requireOneOf": [
                [ "PERSON_NAME_FIRSTNAME", "PERSON_NAME_LASTNAME"]
            ]
        },
        "aml": {
            "checks": ["PEP", "SANCTIONS", "ADVERSE_MEDIA", "SIP", "OTHER"]
        }
    }
}'
```

You can now see that in addition to the `identity` product we've included the `aml` product. Each of them is configured
separately.

## Description of Sent Data

Currently, the `affordability` product cannot be combined with any existing products in a single conversation.
Each of them must be called in the separate conversations.
