OpenID

Hovi's Verifications endpoints allow tenants to verify credentials held by recipients or holders. These endpoints can be used to retrieve or create proof requests. Verifiers (such as organizations or institutions) can use these endpoints to confirm the authenticity and validity of a credential without directly accessing the holder's private information.

Once a verification template is created, it can be reused for multiple verification requests within an ecosystem. This ensures that once you define the necessary attributes and criteria for a specific type of verification, the same template can be reused without needing to configure it each time.

Example: Creating Credential Proof Request for OpenID Ecosystem

Follow these steps to create a credential proof request for the OpenID ecosystem.

1. Visit the Hovi API Reference.
2. Select the OpenID Ecosystem API tab.
3. Navigate to the POST - Send Proof Request endpoint and click “Test Request”.
4. Enter the API key as a Bearer Token, provide the body parameters, and click “Send”.
5. The verificationUrl leads to a QR code that the holder can scan using the Hovi Wallet or any supported third-party wallet (refer to Hovi Supported Wallets) in order to receive the credentials verification request in their wallet.

Once the request is accepted and the proof is shared, the verifier can confirm the credential’s authenticity.

note

Hovi’s OpenID Verifications endpoints enable you to send proof request and get proof request by tenant ID or proof exchange ID. For more information, please visit Hovi API Reference.
