View credential history

Why track credential history?

Tracking the history of a credential is important for:

• Auditing: Monitor who created, updated, or issued a credential, and track any changes made.
• Compliance: Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements by maintaining a complete record of a credential's lifecycle.
• Data Integrity: Validate that a credential has not been tampered with or altered without authorization.

Prerequisites

• Install and configure the SDK
• Define credential schema
• Create a draft
• Issue credential

Example: View credential history

To view the history of a credential, use the credentialHistory method:

TypeScript

await client.credentials.credentialHistory("id", {
    ifNoneMatch: "5db68c06-1a68-11e9-8341-68f728c1ba70"
});

Java

client.credentials()
    .credentialHistory("id", CredentialHistoryRequest.builder()
        .ifNoneMatch("5db68c06-1a68-11e9-8341-68f728c1ba70").build());

Where ifNoneMatch declares a list of identifiers required to fail matching all the current resource version identifiers as a pre-condition for executing the request on the server side. This is especially used in conjunction with an * (asterisk) that matches all possible resource identifiers to ensure the initial creation of a resource.
