For Developers

Build agent systems that implement APIS for identity, authorization, and accountability.

Quick Integration Path

Get started with APIS integration in four steps.

1

Choose Your Role

Determine whether your system will act as an issuer, principal, delegate, or verifier.

2

Integrate SDK

Use the APIS SDK for your language to handle credential issuance, validation, and verification.

3

Implement Flows

Follow the standard flows for credential issuance, mandate creation, signature verification, and revocation.

4

Test and Deploy

Use the test registry to validate your implementation before deploying to production.

Core Concepts

Credentials

Verifiable credentials are JSON documents signed by issuers that establish agent identity.

Mandates

Authorization documents that specify what an agent can do, including scope and constraints.

Signatures

Cryptographic proofs that bind credentials and mandates, enabling verification.

Registry

Public infrastructure for credential status checking and revocation verification.
