  title: Accredible Analytics Designs API
  description: The Accredible API issues, manages, and verifies digital credentials - certificates and Open Badges - programmatically. Credentials are issued to a recipient against a Group (a course or achievement) and rendered with a reusable Design. The API also manages Evidence Items and References attached to credentials, generates credential PDFs and blockchain-verifiable records, returns engagement analytics, administers Departments and Team Members, and generates recipient SSO links. All requests are authenticated with an API key sent in the Authorization header using the scheme `Token token=YOUR_API_KEY`. Production base URL is https://api.accredible.com/v1; a sandbox is available at https://sandbox.api.accredible.com/v1. Endpoints and paths are grounded in Accredible's published API reference; request and response schemas are modeled and simplified.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Accredible Designs API, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
