Certiverse Eligibility API

Send candidate eligibility to test data to Certiverse

Certiverse Eligibility API

The Certiverse Eligibility API allows organizations to configure an exam in the Certiverse Exam Store to require eligibility, which is hosted by Certiverse, and sent to Certiverse using an API endpoint hosted by Certiverse. The eligibility data passed to Certiverse must include the candidate’s email and the exam store sku/exam code code. Organizations can optionally send a first name, last name, eligibility Id, candidate Id, date-time range the eligibility record is valid, and the date-time range the exam can be delivered. Organizations can create, update, delete and retrieve eligibility data in the Certiverse system using the API calls listed below. The candidate’s email address will be used to match eligibility to the candidate when booking the exam. If first name or last name are included in the eligibility those will be matched to the first and last name on the candidate account in Certiverse, in addition to the email address.

Creating Eligibility

The POST call is used to create new eligibility. The create eligibility call requires the candidate’s email address, and the exam code from the Certiverse Exam Store. The eligibility Id is optional, and if it is not included in the post call a system generated eligibility Id will be assigned and returned in the response. The eligibility Id must be used for subsequent calls to update, delete or retrieve the eligibility record. An eligibility Id can only be used to create an eligibility record one time for an organization. The eligibility Id cannot be reused even if the delete eligibility call is used.

Update Eligibility

Existing eligibility records can be updated using the PUT call. The eligibility Id is required to update eligibility and cannot be changed when updating eligibility. All other fields can be updated. The eligibility update will fail if the eligibility record has already been used, and has a pending, completed, or expired booking associated with the eligibility record. The eligibility record can be updated if it was used to create a booking and the booking is then canceled.

Delete Eligibility

Existing eligibility records can be updated using the DELETE call. The eligibility Id is required to delete an eligibility. Once deleted, and eligibility Id cannot be reused by an organization.

Search for Eligibility

Existing eligibility records can be retrieved using the GET call. The search for eligibility records can use either the eligibility Id, email address, or candidate Id. In addition to the eligibility data passed to Certiverse, booking data will be returned if the eligibility has been used to create a booking.

Booking Exams with Eligibility

Exams that are configured to use the Eligibility API will require an eligibility record that matches the users email address, the store exam code, and a valid date eligibility date range. If first name or last name were included in the eligibility record those must match the first and/or last name on the candidates Certiverse account. In cases where more than one valid eligibility record exists for a user and exam code, the record with the earliest eligibility end date, and will expire first, is used. If the eligibility records have the same end date, or no eligibility end date, the records will be used in the order they were created.

Certiverse Eligibility API Configuration

To configure an exam using Eligibility API begin by navigating the Store Portal. Select or create an exam, if creating the exam proceed with configuring the Store exam. Once the exam has been properly configured, locate the Eligibility Configuration tab. From the dropdown list select Eligibility API. Once selected, ensure your changes have been saved and you are able to proceed with sending Eligibility records as needed for the configured exam(s).
