# Xerobi Certification & Badge API Introduction

> Xerobi Certification & Badge API - A modern API for issuing and managing digital certificates and badges

> **Note**: This API provides comprehensive certification and badge management with verification, revocation, and audit capabilities.

## Overview

The Xerobi Certification & Badge API enables you to create, issue, verify, and manage digital certificates and badges. Perfect for educational institutions, certification bodies, and organizations needing to issue verifiable credentials.

## Authentication

All requests require Bearer token authentication:

```
Authorization: Bearer <sk_...>
```

## Base URLs

* Production: `https://api.hixbe.com/certify`

## Versioning

API versioning is handled via the `Xerobi-Version` header. Use `2026-01-01` for the latest version.

Include this header in all API requests:

```
Xerobi-Version: 2026-01-01
```

## Key Concepts

### Verification

### Webhooks

### Audit Logs

## Error Handling
