Authena for developers

Add origin infrastructure
to your product.

Create public Origin Records directly from your application, platform or creative workflow — without storing the original creative asset with Authena.

01
Create

Your product generates or receives the final creative asset.

02
Register

Send the file fingerprint and creator identity to Authena.

03
Share

Receive a permanent public Origin Record URL.

One origin layer

Your workflow stays yours.
Authena adds the public record.

Authena is designed as a lightweight origin layer. Your application remains responsible for creating, editing and storing the asset. Authena registers the asset fingerprint and produces the public identity around it.

01

No original asset storage

Send the cryptographic fingerprint instead of transferring the original creative file.

02

Public Origin Records

Every successful request returns a shareable public record for the registered work.

03

Built for future workflows

Use the same infrastructure from web apps, creator tools, platforms and future integrations.

Quickstart

Create an Origin Record with one request.

The production API will use account-bound API keys. During the current pilot phase, access is provisioned manually.

POST/api/origin-records
const response = await fetch("https://www.authena-media.com/api/origin-records", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    creator: {
      id: "creator_123",
      name: "Alex Studio"
    },
    asset: {
      title: "Summer Editorial",
      filename: "summer-editorial.jpg",
      mime_type: "image/jpeg",
      size: 2481092,
      sha256: "BASE64_ENCODED_SHA256"
    }
  })
});

const originRecord = await response.json();

console.log(originRecord.url);
200Response
{
  "ok": true,
  "record": {
    "id": "6e771b7e-4d88-4ef0-a6de-92f9d35ce918",
    "status": "active",
    "created_at": "2026-07-14T10:32:18.000Z"
  },
  "url": "https://www.authena-media.com/r/6e771b7e-..."
}

Result

A public identity for the registered work.

The returned URL can be embedded in a portfolio, customer delivery, publishing workflow or platform interface.

The Origin Record

Small payload. Clear meaning.

The record connects a creator identity, a specific asset fingerprint and the time at which the registration was created.

CreatorWho registered the work
Asset fingerprintWhich exact file was registered
TimestampWhen the record was created
Record signatureProtection against silent modification
Public URLA shareable Origin Record

Integration pattern

Register the final output, not the editing process.

Authena should be called when a creative asset reaches its final export or delivery state. This creates a clear and reproducible connection between the record and the exact file being shared.

1. Create or export the final asset
2. Calculate its SHA-256 fingerprint
3. Send the fingerprint and creator identity to Authena
4. Receive a public Origin Record URL
5. Add the URL to your delivery, portfolio or product

Designed for

Products that create, deliver or publish creative work.

C

Creator tools

Add Origin Record creation to export or publishing workflows.

A

Agency platforms

Register delivered assets under the studio or creator identity.

P

Content platforms

Give uploaded or published works a persistent public origin page.

S

Creative SaaS

Offer provenance as part of your existing subscription product.

What Authena confirms

Precise claims, without inflated promises.

Authena confirms

A named account registered a specific file fingerprint at a specific time, and the resulting record has not been silently altered.

Authena does not claim

That registration alone constitutes final legal proof of copyright ownership or that independently created similar work cannot exist.
