Retrieve credential claims

When working with issued verifiable credentials (VCs), you often need to access the data inside them - for example, to display credential details in an app, validate information for business rules, or feed data into automated workflows.

The CredentialClaimValues method lets you retrieve claim values in a structured, format-independent object. It parses supported credential formats and makes it easier to process credentials from different issuers and ecosystems without dealing with format-specific logic.

Prerequisites

Retrieve claim values​

Call the CredentialClaimValues method to read claims from a credential. It returns a standardized object containing all parsed claim values.

var issuedCredentialClaims = client.credentials().getCredentialClaimValues(issuedCredential.getId());
note

If the credential format is unsupported or the platform cannot parse claims, this method returns an error. You can still access and handle the raw credential blob manually with CredentialDownload operation.
