GET Verifiable Credentials in json format from an external wallet

[santidediego]

I am wondering how I can incorporate a VC in the connector from an external wallet. At startup, the connector does an HTTP GET request against and endpoint and receives a .json file containing a VC, which would be presented later by the connector when requested. Any thoughts about if there are already some extensions that allow me to fulfil this?

For the moment I've seen that there is an extension for http under http/ and a group of extensions for working with decentralized identity and verifiable credentials under iam/.

By looking at the code of the SSI extension of the connector, I see that at one point it has a method getCredentialServiceClient, in this file but I do not understand what it does. I can see that internally it uses a variable of type EdcHttpClient a imports methods from the library org.eclipse.edc.http.spi.EdcHttpClient;

Thanks in advance.

hi @santidediego I STRONGLY recommend getting familiar with core concepts like DSP (Dataspace Protocol), DCP (Decentralized Claims Protocol) and once you've fully grokked that, take a look at our CredentialService reference implementation called IdentityHub.
In addition, there is our MinimumViableDataspace repo, that should get you started.
