Revoke a Verifiable Credential

To revoke credentials within the ACA-Py framework, follow these steps:

  1. Identify Credential: Determine the credential you need to revoke by referencing its unique identifier.

  2. Send Revoke Command: Utilise the /anoncreds/credentials/revoke API endpoint to initiate the revocation process, supplying the necessary credential identifiers like the connection id and the credential exchange id.

  3. Confirm Revocation: Verify that the credential has been successfully revoked by checking the response from the revocation API and sending a new presentation request (which should fail).

Revoking credentials is crucial for maintaining control over issued credentials and preventing misuse in the cheqd ecosystem.
