IdService_Resolve body → 200default
IssuerService 2

IssuerService is the service that provides ISSUER node operations.

POST
/v1alpha1/issuer/register
Register an issuer by providing the issuer details
IssuerService_Register body → 200default
GET
/v1alpha1/issuer/{commonName}/.well-known/jwks.json

IssuerService_GetWellKnown 1 param → 200default
VcService 5

VC is the service that provides VC operations.

POST
/v1alpha1/vc/publish
Publish an issued Verifiable Credential
VcService_Publish body → 200default
POST
/v1alpha1/vc/revoke

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of AGNTCY Identity Node 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.
