Authentication Securing API access
EduVerse uses industry-standard OAuth 2.0 with JWT bearer tokens. All API requests must include a valid access token in the `Authorization` header.
Token Scopes
| Scope | Access Level | Description |
|---|---|---|
read:courses | View | Access course metadata, syllabi, and catalogs |
write:enrollments | Modify | Create, update, and cancel student enrollments |
read:certifications | View | Retrieve issued certificates and verification data |
admin:users | Full | Manage user accounts, roles, and permissions |
Token Refresh
Access tokens expire after 24 hours. Use your client secret to refresh tokens via the `/oauth/token` endpoint before expiration to maintain uninterrupted access.
Courses API Manage educational content
The Courses API allows you to retrieve, search, and manage course catalogs, modules, and multimedia assets.

- Automated certificate generation upon completion
- Granular role-based access control (RBAC)

Endpoint: Update Enrollment Status
curl -X PATCH https://api.eduverse.com/v2/students/{student_id}/enrollments/{course_id} \

-d '{
"status": "completed",
"completed_at": "2025-04-10T14:32:00Z"

Webhooks Event-driven integrations
Configure webhook endpoints to receive real-time notifications when key events occur in your EduVerse workspace.
Supported Events
| Event | Description |
|---|---|
course.enrolled | Student successfully enrolls in a course |
course.completed | Student finishes all modules and assessments |
certificate.issued | Digital certificate generated and distributed |
payment.success | Subscription or one-time payment processed |
All webhook payloads are signed using HMAC-SHA256. Verify signatures in your endpoint to ensure payload integrity.
Error Handling Standardized responses
EduVerse uses conventional HTTP status codes and returns detailed JSON error objects to simplify debugging.
| Status Code | Meaning | Common Causes |
|---|---|---|
400 | Bad Request | Invalid JSON, missing required fields, malformed parameters |
401 | Unauthorized | Missing or expired access token, invalid credentials |
403 | Forbidden | Insufficient scope, restricted resource access |
429 | Too Many Requests | Exceeded rate limit, check X-RateLimit-Reset header |
500 | Internal Server Error | Platform issue, retry with exponential backoff |
