# Proof requests

[Proof templates](/truvera-api/presentations/proof-templates.md) 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](/truvera-api/getting-started.md#integration-paradigms), 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](#get-the-details-of-an-existing-proof-request) 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](/truvera-workspace/ecosystem-tools.md).

## Create proof request <a href="#create-proof-request" id="create-proof-request"></a>

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

{% openapi src="<https://swagger-api.truvera.io/openapi.yaml>" path="/proof-templates/{id}/request" method="post" %}
<https://swagger-api.truvera.io/openapi.yaml>
{% endopenapi %}

## Create proof request <a href="#create-proof-request" id="create-proof-request"></a>

This route lets you create a standalone proof request without storing a verification template first.

{% openapi src="<https://swagger-api.truvera.io/openapi.yaml>" path="/proof-requests" method="post" %}
<https://swagger-api.truvera.io/openapi.yaml>
{% endopenapi %}

## Get all proof requests

{% openapi src="<https://swagger-api.truvera.io/openapi.yaml>" path="/proof-requests" method="get" %}
<https://swagger-api.truvera.io/openapi.yaml>
{% endopenapi %}

## Get the details of an existing proof request

{% openapi src="<https://swagger-api.truvera.io/openapi.yaml>" path="/proof-requests/{id}" method="get" %}
<https://swagger-api.truvera.io/openapi.yaml>
{% endopenapi %}

## Delete the proof request

{% openapi src="<https://swagger-api.truvera.io/openapi.yaml>" path="/proof-requests/{id}" method="delete" %}
<https://swagger-api.truvera.io/openapi.yaml>
{% endopenapi %}

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.truvera.io/truvera-api/presentations/proof-requests.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
