REST API

Welcome to Acreditta’s Public API for Digital Credentials! This guide will help you get started with integrating our API into your applications and systems.

Acreditta’s API allows you to seamlessly manage and issue digital credentials. Whether you are an educational institution, organization, or platform, our API empowers you to automate the credentialing process.

Getting Started

1. Get API Key

To get the API Key, you need to go to the side navigation bar, pull down the Integrations menu and click on API.
Then on the API screen click on Create APIKey, type a friendly name to identify your API Key and click Create. You will then see the value of your API Key, save it well as it will only be displayed once. When you are done with this process you will have a DeveloperUser, with username API User and password API Key, you will use these two values ​​to log into the API.

2. login

You can log in and obtain access tokens as follows (Via Curl):

curl -X 'POST' \
  'https://public-api.acreditta.com/login' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
  "username": "YOUR_API_USER",
  "password": "YOUR_API_KEY_VALUE"
}'

Remember to replace “YOUR_API_USER” and “YOUR_API_KEY_VALUE” with the two values ​​of your Developer User created in the last step. Following the last example you would have something like this to access the API:

-d '{
  "username": "api_token11760_270",
  "password": "dgT4H5*************************3fH5l"
}'

In the response you will have two values:

  • idToken: Use this as Bearer Token Authorization for all the API ussage from now on
  • refreshToken: Store it as you will need this to get a new idToken in case of expiration (using the /refresh-token endpoint)

3. Consume API

Now you can use the idToken as Bearer Token as you can see in the example in the header Authorization:

curl -X 'POST' \
  'https://public-api.acreditta.com/report/credential/status' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer ID_TOKEN'
