Verifier API Guide Setup

All guides in this directory assume you have a running Verifier service and (if enabled) an API key. Complete these steps before following any specific verification guide (VC, VP, JWT, or multi-policy flows).

Prerequisites

Section titled “Prerequisites”
  • A created and running Verifier instance. See Create Instance for setup steps.
  • An API key with appropriate policies for accessing the verifier service. See Create API Key for detailed steps.

Step 1: Get instance URL

Section titled “Step 1: Get instance URL”

Get the instance endpoint URL from the instance detail page (e.g. https://{verifier-instance-id}.verifier.service.eu.vidos.id).

Step 2: Setup environment variables

Section titled “Step 2: Setup environment variables”

Configure environment variables so all guides can reuse them.

Export environment variables for use in your current terminal session:

Terminal window
export VIDOS_VERIFIER_ENDPOINT="https://{verifier-instance-id}.verifier.service.eu.vidos.id"
export VIDOS_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"

These variables will be available for the duration of your terminal session, typically until you close the terminal window. To make them permanent, add the export commands to your shell profile (e.g., ~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc).
