See introduction to the Springest API for all our endpoint.
Note upfront: the difference between certificates and certifications:
- Certificates - the actual certificate that a user gets from an institute when a training is completed. This is a filetype usually .pdf with accompanying user data. Certificates belong to Certifications.
- Certifications - these are the certifications a product can have, for example 'ITIL'. At the moment certifications can only be created in the Springest Admin and coupled to a product, certifications then have to be verified by Springest Employees.
Access to this feature is restricted to authorized API users only. If you feel you need access to this feature, please contact datasupport@springest.com.
Our Certificates API allows external parties to fetch or post the (pdf) certificates directly to or from Springest. We will process the certificates and make it available in our system for the particular employee of a corporate customer. The Certification API will allow external parties to fetch a list of certifications.
Background
As an external party, your API key will have permission to access employees' compliance status only for specific certifications. These permissions have to be pre-configured by Springest.
