Stann Certs ยท credential API

Issue verifiable certificates with one API call.

Stann is a developer-first API for certificates and digital badges. Send a recipient and a template; get back a PDF, a PNG, a hosted verification page, and a QR code โ€” each credential backed by an Open Badges 2.0 assertion. Built for course creators and online communities.

Everything a credential needs โ€” handled

Issuance, verification, QR, standards, and revocation in one API. You ship the cert; Stann does the plumbing.

One-call issuance

POST a recipient and a template; get back the PDF, PNG, verify URL, and QR in a single response. No multi-step orchestration.

Hosted verification page

Every certificate gets a public page showing Valid / Revoked, the issuer, and the credential โ€” the proof your recipients can share.

QR codes built in

Each credential embeds a QR that resolves to its verification page, so a printed or shared certificate is verifiable in one scan.

Open Badges 2.0

Every credential exposes a standards-compliant hosted assertion, so badges interoperate with the wider Open Badges ecosystem.

Revocation

Revoke a credential via the API; the verification page and assertion reflect it instantly. Trust you can take back.

Bulk from a CSV

Issue a whole cohort at once from a member-list export โ€” drop in a Skool or Circle CSV and every row becomes a verifiable certificate.

How it works

From an API call to a shareable, verifiable credential in three steps.

1

Call the API

Send a recipient, a template id, and your fields to POST /v1/credentials โ€” or upload a CSV for a whole cohort.

2

Get a credential

Stann renders the certificate and returns the PDF, PNG, hosted verify URL, and QR code, ready to email or display.

3

Anyone verifies

Recipients and employers confirm authenticity on the public verification page โ€” no account, no login.

Simple, usage-based pricing

Billed per certificate issued each month. Start free; upgrade when a cohort outgrows it.
