Issue Credentials

This guide explains how organizations can share reusable identity data with their users.

💡

Portabl secures data sharing using DIDComm Messaging v2.0 (opens in a new tab) specification which is ratified by Decentralized Identity Foundation (DIF) (opens in a new tab).

Create a Project

Setup Issuance Settings

Explore the steps to configure your project for the credential issuance to your users.

Generate an Access Token

In order to access the needed APIs for issuing a credential you'll need to generate an access token with the required scopes.

curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.getportabl.com/api/v1/auth/token \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
  "scopes": [
    "create:issuance-workflows",
    "send:issuance-workflows"
  ],
  "clientId": "<CLIENT_ID>",
  "clientSecret": "<CLIENT_SECRET>",
}'

Create an Issuance Workflow

Next, create an issuance workflow. This workflow will hold details about the state of issuance. When defining the workflow, specify the datapoints that meet the constraints defined in the data profile following our vocabulary.

curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.getportabl.com/api/v1/issuance-workflows \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_SECRET_TOKEN' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
  "datapoints": {
    "firstName": "Jane",
    "lastName": "Doe",
    "birthDate": "1/1/2000",
  },
  "projectId": "<PROJECT_ID>",
}'

Send an Invitation

After creating the workflow, specify where you would like it to be sent. Invitations can be sent via a combination of Email, SMS, and DIDComm.

curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.getportabl.com/api/v1/issuance-workflows/__ISSUANCE_WORKFLOW_ID__/send-invitation \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_SECRET_TOKEN' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
  "destinations": [
    {
      "channel": "DIDCOMM",
      "target": "<USER_DID>"
    },
    {
      "channel": "Email",
      "target": "<TARGET_EMAIL>"
    }
    {
      "channel": "SMS",
      "target": "<TARGET_PHONE_NUMBER>"
    }
  ]
}'

See the results

Once the user receives and accepts they will receive a credential with datapoints that were defined in the issuance workflow creation step. Additionally, the user's respective credential data will be added to the project.
