Users can manually upload an Open Badge file for validation.

  2. Upload the Open Badge image.
  3. Review the validation result.

Users can manually paste a publicly accessible asset URL for validation.

Verifier URL:
https://verifier.mynext.id/open-badges

Steps:

  1. Open the verifier page.
  2. Paste the link to Open Badge image.
  3. Review the validation result.

Users can validate an Open Badge by providing a publicly accessible asset URL, using a request_url parameter.

URL format: https://verifier.mynext.id/open-badges?request_url=[ASSET_URL]

The verifier fetches the badge from the provided URL and displays the validation result.

For integrations, a redirect_url parameter can be provided.
After validation, the verifier redirects the user back to the specified URL.

URL format: https://verifier.mynext.id/open-badges?request_url=[ASSET_URL]&redirect_url=[REDIRECT_URL]

After validation, the user is redirected to: [REDIRECT_URL]?outcome=[VALIDATION_OUTCOME]
