vc-http-api

The VC HTTP API repository contains a standard API specification for constructing and verifying objects which conform to the Verifiable Credential Data Model specification, along with documentation, integration and compatability tests, and related assets for the test and integration process.

Structure

The vc-http-api repository is structured with two main sections:

  • docs which contains the VC HTTP API spec itself in OpenAPI (formerly known as Swagger) form as well as related documentation to assist in building and testing a compliant implementation of the API spec
    • Architecture for the issuer model is discussed in the architecture document
    • Within docs, the versions of the api are stored in the appropriate folder under versions
    • The core API itself is detailed in the spec file and this spec should be used as the master reference for the API
  • packages which contains test suites and related utilities for integration testing, test suite results, and related assets.
