Certificates, badges, groups, and designs issued from the account they connected.

Connecting Accredible in practice

Accredible authenticates with a non-standard header value — `Authorization: Token token=YOUR_API_KEY` rather than a bearer token — and sandbox lives on a different hostname, sandbox.api.accredible.com, with its own key, so nothing about a working test integration carries over to production except the code.

Scopes that draw scrutiny

API Key (Accredible’s own term) There is no scope mechanism: one key is what the integration needs to authenticate and issue credentials, and Accredible’s guidance is to mint a separate key per integration rather than to narrow a key’s permissions.

Worth knowing

The credential-issuing API is versioned in the path (https://api.accredible.com/v1) with a parallel sandbox host, so the base URL is environment-specific and easy to leave pointed at sandbox.
The published reference at docs.api.accredible.com renders through a JavaScript shell, so the endpoint list cannot be read by a crawler or an agent without a browser.
Accredible does not publish a rate limit on the developer documentation, so throughput has to be discovered against a live key rather than designed for.

Acts as the person, not as itself

Each user connects their own account. Every call carries both identities — the agent and the person it is acting for — so the agent can never reach past what that individual can already do.

Credentials never touch the agent

Tokens live in the vault and attach server-side at call time. The agent holds a session, not a secret, and revoking access does not mean rotating a key.

Every call on the record

Who asked, which agent acted, which action ran, and the verdict that let it through — one audit trail across every integration, not one per vendor.

What an agent can do

Each action is granted on its own. An agent allowed to read is not thereby allowed to write, and the scope beside each row is what the acting user must have connected for it to run at all.
