The Python SDK allows developers to issue verifiable credentials seamlessly from their applications. By following the steps below, you'll be able to integrate the credential issuance functionality into your system.
Steps to Issue Credentials
1. Clone the Repository
Start by cloning the Python SDK repository to your local machine.
Once the repository is cloned, navigate to the project directory:
cdissuer_python_sdk
3. Install Dependencies
Make sure to install all the necessary dependencies by following the instructions in the README.md. For Python projects, this often involves setting up a virtual environment and installing the required packages:
# Optionally, create a virtual environmentpython-mvenvvenvsourcevenv/bin/activate# On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate# Install dependenciespipinstall-rrequirements.txt
4. Follow the README.md Instructions
The README.md file contains detailed steps on how to configure the SDK, set up the environment, and begin issuing credentials. Be sure to follow the instructions, including:
Configuring your environment variables
Understanding the necessary API keys or credentials for issuing
