Verify credentials programmatically

Verification API

A single read-only endpoint returns the live status of a credential by its ID. Use it to verify candidates at scale instead of checking each credential by hand.

GET https://aipalliance.org/api/v1/credentials/{credentialCode}

Need a key? Contact us with your use case and we'll issue one.

Authentication

Pass your API key as a Bearer token in the Authorization header. The samples read it from an AIPA_API_KEY environment variable, so it never sits in your code.

curl https://aipalliance.org/api/v1/credentials/AIPA-CAIP-2027-7F3A9C \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AIPA_API_KEY"

Deprecated: sending the key as a ?key= query parameter still works for now, but responses carry a Deprecation header and support will be removed. Query strings are written to proxy and server logs, so if you have used one, move to the header and ask us to rotate the key.
