Sertifier

Sertifier is a digital credential and certificate/badge management platform that lets organizations design, issue, verify, and analyze verifiable digital credentials (Open Badge-style certificates and badges) at scale. Beyond the web application, Sertifier exposes a REST Credential API (base https://b2b.sertifier.com, authenticated with a private secretKey header and an api-version header) so backend systems and LMS/CRM integrations can programmatically manage designs, credential details, email templates, campaigns, recipients, custom attributes, and issue and publish credentials the instant a learner completes a course. Sertifier has issued more than 10 million credentials across 70+ countries.

Sertifier publishes 9 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Attributes API, Authentication API, Campaigns API, and 6 more. Tagged areas include Digital Credentials, Certificates, Badges, Open Badges, and Verifiable Credentials.

The Sertifier catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Sertifier’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, engineering blog, and 8 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Education & Research regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Markets this provider is in provisional

The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.

Market	Position	Depth	Registered MCP server	Declares compatibility
Zoom App Marketplace and Partner Ecosystem (builders and partners on Zoom)	builds-on	40.7	-	-

Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.

Standards implemented 1

Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.
