POVs Creation via API

Step-by-Step Guide to Creating POVs via API in Blerify

Blerify allows you to create Points of Verification (POVs) not only from the visual builder but also programmatically through a secure API. This is ideal for dynamic use cases or server-based systems where verification rules must be generated on the fly.

Before you start: You need a Service Account and a valid Access Token to use the POVs API. See Access Token Generation for more info.

Prerequisites

To use the POVs Creation API, ensure you have:

• A valid Service Account (admin must create this from the Blerify Portal).

• A generated Access Token for that service account.

• The list of Verifiable Credential parameters you want to validate.

Steps

1. Log in to Your Blerify Account

• Access your Blerify account using your credentials.

2. Enter the Project of Interest

• Navigate to the project you are working on, such as Licenses, Credentials, Memberships, etc.

3. Go to the Applications Section

Within the project, locate and select the Applications section.

4. Create a New Application and Select Its Type

• Click on Create New Application.

• Choose the type of application:

  • Website Authentication Widget: Allows users to authenticate on your website using Blerify Wallet.

  • Validation of Events Access: Enrolls users into your platform by requesting Verifiable Credentials.

  • POV via API ✅ (New): Enables backend-to-backend validation using Blerify APIs.

5. Complete the Steps to Create the POV

Step 1: Application Details

• Application Name: Enter a name for your application (e.g., "Age Verification for Events").

• Application Description: Provide a brief description of the application's purpose.

• Credential Type to Verify: Select the type of credential to be verified (e.g., Driver’s License, Membership Card).

• Credential Issuer: Specify the trusted issuer(s) of the credential.

• Issuance Date Range: Define the range of issuance dates for valid credentials.

• Expiration Date Range: Define the range of expiration dates for valid credentials.

Step 2: Credential Fields and Response Format

• Credential Fields to Share and Verify: Select the specific fields from the credential that need to be shared and verified (e.g., name, date of birth, license number).

• Response Format: Choose the format in which the verification response will be delivered (e.g., JSON, XML).

Step 3: API Integration Setup (Only for API Type)

• Service Account: Select the account previously created and authorized for API access.

• Callback URL (Optional): If you want Blerify to notify your backend when a verification occurs.

  • This step replaces the visual widget configuration done in frontend POVs.

• Website for Widget or QR: Enter the website URL where the widget or QR code will be published.

• Language: Select the language for the widget interface.

• Dark or Light Mode: Choose the widget’s appearance (dark or light mode).

• Size: Define the size of the widget or QR code.

Final Step: Register the POV

• Once all the details are filled in, click Register POV.

• As a result, Blerify will generate a script that you need to copy and paste into your website’s code. This script will enable the POV functionality on your site.
