Proof requests

Proof templates are used to create proof requests. When a proof request is created, you will receive a URL which needs to be delivered to a holder's wallet application either as a link (in the "response_url" field) or displayed in a QR code for the wallet application to scan (conveniently pre-generated for you in the "qr" field). The holder's wallet will then generate a proof response and deliver it to the Truvera API which will check it for cryptographic correctness. Like other asynchronous operations, you can receive the verification response along with the verified attributes either by polling or via a webhook.

To get a response by polling, check the proof-request details for when the "verified" attribute equals "true". At that point, the "presentation" field will contain the verified attributes as a JSON list. If at any point the "verified" attribute equals "false", the response can be checked to determine the cause of the failure and appropriate next steps.

When creating a proof request, you can optionally provide a verifier DID in order for the holder to know that your verifier is on their trust-list, such as in an ecosystem of trust.

Create proof request

This route uses a template ID and takes the PEX request you defined there.
