Verify a certificate.
Every LaunchDetect Academy certificate is publicly verifiable. The certId is on the credential PDF; this page resolves it to a public proof.
Verification URL pattern:
https://launchdetect.com/academy/verify/{certId}/How it works
- Each certificate has a globally-unique certId (ULID format).
- Visiting
/academy/verify/{certId}/renders a public proof page showing: the certified name, the track earned, the capstone completed, the date of issue, and a signed download link to the certificate PDF. - Anyone can verify a credential without an account. There is no API key requirement for verification.
- Certificates are immutable. Once issued, the proof page persists indefinitely. Revocation (if needed for misconduct) marks the certId as revoked but leaves the page accessible.
