Platform overview
Inflowra is a credential issuance API. You send it a subject's claims and a holder identifier; it validates them against your schema, signs them inside its key service, and returns a standards-compliant verifiable credential. The holder presents that credential wherever they need to, and any compliant verifier can check it — without calling Inflowra.
How issuance works
- Define a schema. Describe the shape of the credential you want to issue — the claims, their types, and the format.
- Send claims + a holder DID. POST the subject's claims and their decentralized identifier to the credentials endpoint.
- Receive a signed credential. Inflowra signs the payload and returns a complete, standards-compliant verifiable credential.
- Verify anywhere. The holder presents it, and any compliant verifier can check the signature — no call back to us.
Design principles
Stateless by design
Claims and keys pass through the API and never touch a database. What you send is what gets signed — then it's gone. Request logs record that an issuance happened (issuer, schema, format, timestamp) — never what was in it. The trade-offs are deliberate: Inflowra cannot reissue a lost credential (your system re-sends the claims) and there is no claim-level history dashboard. Read more in Why we don't store what we sign.
One request shape, every format
SD-JWT, mdoc, and JSON-LD credentials come from the same request shape. Switch
formats without switching integrations — set the format field and keep the
rest of your request unchanged.
Verifiable with standard tooling
Anything issued through Inflowra is checkable by walt.id, Credo-TS, or your own verification code. Standard formats, no proprietary wrapper. Inflowra also operates a hosted verify API and a public verify portal for spot checks.
Platform components
- Issuance API — the core credentials endpoint your backend calls.
- Issuer portal — manage issuers, API keys (create / rotate / revoke), plans and billing.
- Verify API — public, unauthenticated endpoint that checks signature and revocation status for any pasted credential.
- Hosted status lists — revocation infrastructure included on paid plans.
Plans
Plans are credit-based, sized by credentials issued per month (e.g. 1,000/month on the starter tier and 25,000/month on the growth tier, with SSO/SAML, audit exports and a dedicated support channel on the enterprise tier). See pricing for current numbers.
