# POVs Creation via API
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](https://docs.blerify.com/developers/api-documentation/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.
