# OpenID

OpenID issuance is the best way to go, when you need to send the credential to the holder using a deeplink or QR code.

OpenID issuer endpoint should not be confused with the credential Issuer as it is in the Truvera platform. With OpenID creating an OpenID issuer is the first step of credential issuance and will need to be done for each individual credential.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Note:** Credential offers created with `"singleUse": false` are not subject to automatic deletion by the retention policy. Because these offers are designed for repeated use, they persist indefinitely until manually deleted. If you want offers to be cleaned up automatically, set `"singleUse": true`.
{% endhint %}

{% openapi src="/files/JRr1pCTFHx76mpRDdFlL" path="/openid/issuers" method="post" %}

### Credential offers

Generate credential offers to initiate the issuance process. Credential offers can be shared with the holder to claim the credential. This endpoint creates a credential offer linked to the OpenID issuer.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.truvera.io/truvera-api/openid.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
