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:coursesViewAccess course metadata, syllabi, and catalogs
write:enrollmentsModifyCreate, update, and cancel student enrollments
read:certificationsViewRetrieve issued certificates and verification data
admin:usersFullManage 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.

Webhooks Event-driven integrations

Configure webhook endpoints to receive real-time notifications when key events occur in your EduVerse workspace.

Supported Events

EventDescription
course.enrolledStudent successfully enrolls in a course
course.completedStudent finishes all modules and assessments
certificate.issuedDigital certificate generated and distributed
payment.successSubscription 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 CodeMeaningCommon Causes
400Bad RequestInvalid JSON, missing required fields, malformed parameters
401UnauthorizedMissing or expired access token, invalid credentials
403ForbiddenInsufficient scope, restricted resource access
429Too Many RequestsExceeded rate limit, check X-RateLimit-Reset header
500Internal Server ErrorPlatform issue, retry with exponential backoff
