API Response Mode Encoding
If you are using the ixkio API Response mode for authentication, it's still possible to use the ixkio mobile app to encode your NTAG424 tags.
In this case, the tags will be encoded with your domain name to go to your server first. However, the keys will still be loaded into the ixkio platform against each tag.
API Response Encoding is designed for NTAG424 authentication tags only. If you are using the API Response Mode for regular NFC tags, then do not use this function (use the Seritag Encoder NFC app instead)
Setting the Encode Domain
Main Menu > Management > Advanced Settings > API Encoding Settings Panel
This field uses the subtags system to dynamically substitute tag data during encoding as follow :
{xuid}
Tag XUID
{cuid}
Tag CUID*
{count}
Tag Scan Count
{code}
NTAG424 CMAC Code
{uid}
Tag UID
At the moment, API encoding doesn't support PICCData (Encrypted UID and Counter mirror). We will be releasing this encoding option later in 2025.
CUID
The CUID Core Data field must be set on your console for each tag before you encode your tags. Encoding with the {cuid} subtag will take your Tag CUID and encode it permanently onto each tag. It's important to understand that if you then change the CUID in the console, the Tag encoding CUID will not dynamically change.
Encoding your Tags
You can now encode your Tags in the usual way with the App. Simply, create 'unencoded' Tag Codes within a Batch, enabled encoding from the 'Encode' Tab of the Batch Function panel. Tap the Encode Function on the App and encode.
Your NTAG424 Tag will be encoded with your URL, the encryption key will be automatically generated and stored against your Tag Code.
Encoding your Tags will lock them to the key. At the moment, the ixkio App cannot change the data encoded onto your NFC tags. We very strongly recommend encoding a couple of test tags before you encode any production tags.
Example
Assume that your landing page URL is :
Where you are taking the parameters of the tagid (in this case the xuid from ixkio), the count and the code to pass to our authentication API. You would enter into the console :
