Document image API

Certificate Generation API

Generate branded certificate images from recipient, course, event, award, and verification data using one approved template.

Quick answer

A certificate generation API is useful when every credential shares a controlled design and each recipient supplies a predictable set of verified fields.

Best-fit use cases

Course completion
Event attendance
Employee awards
Partner credentials

Implementation

A reliable four-step workflow

1

Verify records

Require a stable recipient ID, approved name, credential, date, and issuer.

2

Lock the design

Keep issuer marks, signatures, typography, and legal text outside dynamic control.

3

Generate safely

Render only approved records and preserve an idempotency key for retries.

4

Deliver and verify

Store the output with its source record and a human-readable verification path.

Concrete example
trigger
A learner completes a course
inputs
Name, course, completion date, credential ID
output
A branded certificate image
destination
Email and learner profile

Frequently asked questions

Can certificates be generated in bulk?

Yes. Validate each row first and retain a record-to-output mapping for corrections and reissues.

Should the image be the system of record?

No. Keep authoritative credential data separately and treat the image as a presentation layer.
