Generating Mock Credentials

Create test credentials for development and testing. Mock data generation for SDK flows and on-chain verification without real palm scans.

As developer you may want to generate mock credentials to test against your applications.

Humanity provides a testing playground through a credentials generator that is tied both to sandbox environment when working with the SDK / API and Humanity testnet when working with On-Chain infrastructure.

Step by step guide

1. Go to https://app.sandbox.humanity.org/ and Sign up or Log in.

2. Once inside the Dashboard, select the Create tab and search for the credential you want to generate.

ℹ️ A complete list of scopes and presets and how they are bundled is here SDK OAuth Scopes and Presets

In the example below we are going to create a mock credential for Telegram which is included under identity information and part of the social_accounts preset.

Select the credential then click Generate Credential to complete the process.

Once created, you can view all your current active credentials as well as delete them from the View/Delete tab.

How this applies to your developer flow

Working with the SDK / API

Visit https://developers.humanity.org/ and select the application you want to work with.

Then go to Settings tab and select the scopes your application is going to request matching the mock credentials you generated from the Credentials Generator.

⚠️ Make sure you are under sandbox tab when selecting your app scopes.

In the example below we are setting our app to request social_accounts by selecting the identity information mapped ****as identity:read scope which includes those fields (Google connected, Facebook connected, Telegram connected, Discord connected).

Your app then will request your users for consent to expose the identity:read scope which included the social_accounts presets through the OAuth flow so you can check your app against your generated mock credentials.

Working On-Chain

Your dApp can check against these mock credentials as well when working with Testnet . Think of it as the equivalent of the sandbox environment when working with the SDK / API . This way you can, for example, check if a user is a unique human (went through palm or vein scan) and safely test that credential in your dApp. This would also work for any other credential generated through https://app.sandbox.humanity.org/ .

The image above shows the front end for an dApp deployed on Testnet which is checking a wallet address against the On-Chain Oracle returning the requested credential (with claimID humanity_identity ) for our dApp to determine whether or not a particular wallet address is eligible for an airdrop.
