Verify Credential

  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \

This is an alpha API and subject to change.
It is impractical to use the API Playground to verify a credential. Instead you can copy the sample code for your preferred language in the righthand sidebar and fill in the JSON of the credential you intend to verify.
Here is an example of how to verify a credential using javascript:
verifyVC.js
const options = {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
        "X-API-KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY",
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
    },
    body: '{"credential": {"id":"urn:uuid:e31316b6-3be1-49af-a95f-c7f4c3f52aa1","credentialSubject":{"course":"Blockchain 101","passed":true,"id":"did:polygon:0x6C3b3225759Cbda68F96378A9F0277B4374f9F06"},"expirationDate":"2034-02-03","nft":{"tokenId":"1","chain":"polygon","contractAddress":"0xdC444A3F4768185497Dae6250E2F348b99bE89F3"},"issuer":{"id":"did:polygon:0xa22CaDEdE67c11dc1444E507fDdd9b831a67aBd1"},"type":["VerifiableCredential","65c15243e9bee8deac219d57"],"issuanceDate":"2024-02-05T23:21:32.641Z","@context":["https://www.w3.org/2018/credentials/v1","https://github.com/haardikk21/ethereum-eip712-signature-2021-spec/blob/main/index.html","DUMMY_CROSSMINT/65c15243e9bee8deac219d57"],"proof":{"verificationMethod":"did:polygon:0xa22CaDEdE67c11dc1444E507fDdd9b831a67aBd1#ethereumAddress","ethereumAddress":null,"created":"2024-02-05T23:22:24.058Z","proofPurpose":"assertionMethod","type":"EthereumEip712Signature2021","proofValue":"0x748a55d9770cbc6ef16689f0d9547355e288bcce03a8949a32d2aac59244cb9e08cbf54c960bc00d133fc51e6651a4ac1366aeda320dd121777118a4e74980631b","eip712":{"domain":{"name":"Krebit","version":"0.1","chainId":4,"verifyingContract":"0xD8393a735e8b7B6E199db9A537cf27C61Aa74954"},"types":{"VerifiableCredential":[{"name":"@context","type":"string[]"},{"name":"type","type":"string[]"},{"name":"id","type":"string"},{"name":"issuer","type":"Issuer"},{"name":"credentialSubject","type":"CredentialSubject"},{"name":"issuanceDate","type":"string"},{"name":"expirationDate","type":"string"},{"name":"nft","type":"Nft"}],"CredentialSubject":[{"name":"id","type":"string"},{"name":"course","type":"string"},{"name":"passed","type":"bool"}],"Issuer":[{"name":"id","type":"string"}],"Nft":[{"name":"tokenId","type":"string"},{"name":"contractAddress","type":"string"},{"name":"chain","type":"string"}]},"primaryType":"VerifiableCredential"}}}}',
};

// note the gigantic VC JSON string in the body property

fetch("https://staging.crossmint.com/api/v1-alpha1/credentials/verification/verify", options)
    .then((response) => response.json())
    .then((response) => console.log(response))
    .catch((err) => console.error(err));
