Redential API · credentialing infrastructure
Independent
proof, as an API.

Add portable developer credentials to your platform. Redential verifies real code, project evidence, and live technical defense, then returns independent proof your users can trust.

Positioning
Not a marketplace. Not an AI interviewer. Credentialing infrastructure.

Redential does not source candidates, match talent, or replace your hiring workflow. We provide the independent proof layer that developers own and companies can verify.

Use cases
One credentialing layer, many products.
01
Staffing agencies

Verify engineers before presenting them to clients — portable proof that travels with the placement.

GET /credentials
02
Talent marketplaces

Add independent proof to expert profiles — a capability record buyers can trust at a glance.

Verified by Redential
03
ATS & hiring tools

Pull credential status, verified skills, risk flags, and recommended follow-up questions into your flow.

04
AI companies

Verify technical experts before interviews or project work — real code and live defense, not résumés.

How it works
From a link to portable proof.
01
Create a verification session

Call the API with the candidate and role. No separate signup required. Candidates open a secure verification link.

02
Candidate proves the work

They connect GitHub, choose real work, and complete a live technical defense against their own repository.

03
Redential returns a credential result

Credential status, verified skills, ownership score, integrity risk, evidence URL, and recommended follow-up questions. Via API or webhook.

04
Your product shows proof

Display “Verified by Redential” with the evidence link, inside your own interface. The credential remains portable and belongs to the developer.
