Building with Polygon ID Platform APIs

Polygon ID Platform APIs empower you to programatically

🚢 Onboard to Polygon ID by creating an organization and issuer
🏗️ Create reusable schema templates
🤗 Generate claims offers (links to QR codes) to issue to users
🚀 & so much more... check out the official Polygon ID Platform API docs for the full list of APIs

This repo walks through programatically creating an Issuer in Node.js by creating an account (org and issuer), writing a claim schema, and generating issuable claims, sometimes called offers. You can use the same flow to build your own frontend Issuer website -- check out my repo: generate-frontend-polygon-id-issuer

Repo setup

Pre-req: Install Node.js
Star and clone repo git clone https://github.com/oceans404/node-polygon-id-platform-apis
cd into repo cd node-polygon-id-platform-apis
Create a .env file: cp .env.example .env;

Within the .env file, update POLYGON_ID_EMAIL to your email. You will only be able to create one org account per email. I used the + sign in my email to run multiple tests. ex: myemail@gmail.com, myemail+test0@gmail.com, myemail+test1@gmail.com, myemail+test2@gmail.com
Within the .env file, update POLYGON_ID_PASSWORD with a strong password (needs lowercase, uppercase, numbers, and special chars).

Polygon ID Onboarding (Create Org and Issuer)

Before you can create and issue claims, you must complete the onboarding flow. Onboard to Polygon ID by creating an Organization account either programatically or within the Polygon ID Platform UI.

Option 1: Onboard within the Polygon ID Platform UI

1. Sign up

Visit https://platform-test.polygonid.com/sign-up to sign up for an organization account to match the email and password in your .env file.

2. Verify your org account

Click the link sent to your email. You may have to copy paste the full link into your browser because it has a period in it.

3. Create your org's "issuer" with a name and optional details.

Option 2: Onboard Programatically

1. Create An Organization Account

Run node api/createOrg.js

// Status: 201
// Body:  {
//     createdAt: '2022-11-28T22:53:54.537388Z',
//     email: 'myemail+test@icloud.com',
//     id: 'a460c501-e936-41f6-8af9-a29035ecf2db',
//     modifiedAt: '2022-11-28T22:53:54.537388Z',
//     type: 'OWNER',
//     verified: false
// }

2. Sign-in to an Organization Account

Run node api/signinOrg.js

After you run the orgs sign in script, your generated JWT token is written to token.js

3. Activate Organization Account

Run node api/ActivateAccount.js

  // generates a new token that is saved to the file
  // {
  //   token: 'eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJleHAiOjE2Njk4Mjk1MDksImp0aSI6ImEwYmVmOGFlLWU3YTAtNDU2NC1hZDg2LTk5MzE0ZTE5YmY1YyIsImlhdCI6MTY2OTc0MzEwOSwibmJmIjoxNjY5NzQzMTA5LCJzdWIiOiIyNzJkNjE2Zi01YjIzLTQwMjQtOTFhNi01MzIyMGQ4NzIzNzEiLCJzY29wZSI6ImFwaSIsImFjY291bnQiOnsidmVyaWZpZWQiOnRydWUsIm9yZ2FuaXphdGlvbiI6bnVsbCwicm9sZSI6Ik9XTkVSIiwiZW1haWwiOiJzdGVwaGFuaWVvcnBpbGxhK3Rlc3QyQGljbG91ZC5jb20ifX0.Xyzci_oohDatcwBr1oxIvK_fJ_JGAiCABLHS98Yopzc'
  // }

Once you've activated your account, you generate a new token that is written to token.js

4. Create an Issuer

Update the issuerInfo object in yourData.js to name your Issuer (must be unique across Polygon ID ecosystem!). You'll be able to update these fields later within the Polygon ID Platform UI.

Run node api/createIssuer.js

  // Status: 201
  // Body: {
  //     createdAt: '2022-11-29T18:52:20.506164Z',
  //     did: '115p1w77jT4Hs8x7sx4eMmKdyb9tzMsqngmYtBLKUj',
  //     displayName: 'my super legit issuer',
  //     id: 'e68a824f-d493-42df-9022-5d5b9bdad548',
  //     legalName: 'gm inc.',
  //     logo: '',
  //     modifiedAt: '2022-11-29T18:52:20.506164Z',
  //     ownerEmail: 'myemail+test@icloud.com',
  //     region: 'USA',
  //     slug: 'my-super-legit-issuer'
  // }

5. Refresh Token

Run node api/refreshToken.js

Create a Schema

A Schema is a reusable template that defines the structure of claims by typing attributes. You can either create a schema within the Polygon Platform UI or programatically by following the instructions below.

1. Define your schema structure

Update schemaStructure within yourData.js. Schemas must have unique names and up to 2 named attributes of type boolean, date, or number. If you set mandatoryExpiration to true, you'll need to add an expiration date later while issuing claims.

2. Sign in if you onboarded through the UI

Run node api/signinOrg.js to generate a token.js file

3. Run `node api/createSchema.js`

Here's my result. I saved the schemaURL s3 file to resultingS3SchemaURL.json for reference

  //   Status: 201
  //   Body: {
  //     active: true,
  //     attributes: [
  //         {
  //           description: 'Is pineapple an acceptable pizza topping, yes or no?',
  //           name: 'LikesPineappleOnPizza',
  //           type: 'boolean'
  //         },
  //         {
  //           description: 'Number of animal friends (cats, dogs, birds, etc.) you own.',
  //           name: 'PetCount',
  //           type: 'number'
  //         }
  //     ],
  //     createdAt: '2022-11-29T22:32:23.962388Z',
  //     id: '77e48fa2-37e6-4818-b767-71588f6c0b73',
  //     issuerID: 'e68a824f-d493-42df-9022-5d5b9bdad548',
  //     mandatoryExpiration: false,
  //     modifiedAt: '2022-11-29T22:32:23.962388Z',
  //     schema: 'AboutMe',
  //     schemaHash: '2f2b9f023991a4e3e8617f803118bf37',
  //     schemaURL: 'https://s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/polygonid-schemas/eb973a75-0ee3-4418-8e6d-f29a3ad3f84d.json-ld',
  //     technicalName: '',

  //   }

Create Schema endpoint docs

Create a Claim Offer

1. Set the schema id for your claim

Find the claimOffer object within yourData.js. Update the schemaId property to your schema id so the claim follows that schema's template. The schema id is the id field logged when you created a schema. Alternatively you can find out a schema's id on the "Created Schemas" page of Polygon ID Platform by clicking the schema and grabbing the id from the schemaID parameter in the url.

2. Create an array of attribute keys and values for your offer

Update the attributes array within the claimOffer object in yourData.js so that there is one attribute object per attribute from the schemaStructure you created. The attributeKey property should match the name from the schemaStructure. The attributeValue should be a number (0 falsy, 1 truthy for booleans).

3. run `node api/createClaim.js` to print your claim link

Note: this calls both the create claim and create qr code of offer APIs

// Status: 201
// Body: {
//   attributeValues: [
//     { attributeKey: 'LikesPineappleOnPizza', attributeValue: 1 },
//     { attributeKey: 'PetCount', attributeValue: 2 }

//     {

//       name: 'LikesPineappleOnPizza',
//       type: 'boolean'
//     },
//     {
//       description: 'Number of animal friends (cats, dogs, birds, etc.) you own.',
//       name: 'PetCount',
