For Developers
Build agent systems that implement APIS for identity, authorization, and accountability.
Quick Integration Path
Get started with APIS integration in four steps.
Choose Your Role
Determine whether your system will act as an issuer, principal, delegate, or verifier.
Integrate SDK
Use the APIS SDK for your language to handle credential issuance, validation, and verification.
Implement Flows
Follow the standard flows for credential issuance, mandate creation, signature verification, and revocation.
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.
