Empty list when retrieving verifiable credentials.

[danimaraas]

I am trying out the SSI kit, and have a question concerning the first tutorial "My First VC". I played around with it and followed the steps. Each step seemed to work fine, but afterwards I was surprised by the behaviour of some of the endpoints. The dids were retrievable, but not the Verifiable Credential I created. The endpoint returned an empty list. Curious, I attempted to verify the VC a second time (I copied the initial response when creating the VC), and now it returned false. Assuming that the mistake was on my end, I repeated the entire tutorial (except for creating the dids). Again, everything seems to work fine. I get a response with the credential, and I'm, able to verify it. However, when I try to retrieve the VC afterwards, I get an empty list. Any good suggestions as to why I get an empty list?

Hey @danimaraas,

thanks for reaching out.

By default, the SSI-Kit does not store the credential it signs/issues. However, you can use the Auditor API to store the credential after it has been signed for later retrieval.

Hope this helps!

Thank you for clearing that out for me!
