This platform acts as the 'issuer' of the Verifiable Credential, digitally signing it to ensure its authenticity and integrity. The 'userId' information provided in the request body will be embedded within the 'achievement' object of the issued badge. The resulting badge includes a cryptographic proof (e.g., JsonWebSignature2020) allowing any verifier to confirm that the badge was issued by this platform and has not been tampered with. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /openapi/beyond-ai/openbadges-api.yaml post /ims/ob/v3p0/issue-badge/ openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: OpenBadge API version: 1.0.0 description: >- Open Badges is a global standard for creating, issuing, and verifying digital micro-credentials that represent skills, achievements, learning outcomes, and experiences.
