Check the status of a credential

Checking the status of a verifiable credential can be done using the command-line interface with the following command:

ssikit vc revocation check {vc-filepath}

where {vc-filepath} is the path to the verifiable credential to be checked.

e.g. Verifiable Credential - vc.json

  [
    "VerifiableCredential",
    "UniversityDegreeCredential"
  ],

ssikit vc revocation check vc.json

e.g. Status checking result

{
    "isRevoked" : false
}

Failure
