Now that your Credential Engine account has been approved, you can get started publishing data to the Credential Registry using the Credential Publisher app.
Edit and Approve your Organization Data
The first step is to edit and approve your organization. You can add more information than what you entered in the account.
Publish Data
Credential Engine offers a range of options for publishing data to the Registry. The following methods are available to all users:
- Bulk upload: Select data properties, download a CSV template, populate, and upload to publish to the Credential Registry. Recommended for large quantities of data.
- Manual entry: User-friendly interface for publishing small quantities of information.
- Badge Publisher: Import Open Badge information from badging platforms to publish to the Credential Registry.
- Pathway Builder: Interactive tool for building education and career pathways.
- If you are a certification provider, publish your certifications via manual entry or bulk upload.
- If you are an ACE National Guide customer, consider connecting to ACE’s credit recommendations, which have been published to the Registry.
The Registry Assistant API streamlines publishing by enabling the publishing and maintenance of structured data directly from a database to the Credential Registry. API publishing requires technical team members who are familiar with providing data via APIs. Approval to publish by API is required by Credential Engine. Contact accounts@credentialengine.org for more information.
Using Registry Data
Once your information is published to the Registry, you can use the Credential Finder to view and download your data.
For advanced data consuming options, consult the Registry Handbook or contact accounts@credentialengine.org.
