InfoCert Time Stamps

The API Timestamping allows you to mark documents or buy batches at the lowest prices on the market. There are no minimum purchase obligations.

Openapi is the only platform where you can buy batches of timestamps, provided by 2 different accredited Certification Authorities (Time-Stamping Authority - TSA): InfoCert and Aruba.

In particular, the API allows you to:

InfoCert Time Stamps

InfoCert time stamps have European validity according to the eIDAS Regulation. They can be used independently, such as integrated into software, or together with any Digital Signature device.

Currently, the batches of InfoCert time stamps available are:

You can check the cost of individual batches in the dedicated section via the endpoint GET/marche.

The process of timestamping or releasing batches of time stamps is immediate.

GET https://ws.marchetemporali.com/avalability/infocert/100

In this case we are checking the availability of the 100 batches of InfoCert time stamps.

EXAMPLE RESPONSE

The response will show the number of available batches:

{
  "data": {
    "availability": "89"
  },
  "success": true,
