pot-api

REST API server for pot-sdk — sync and async AI output verification with webhook callbacks.

What it does

pot-api wraps pot-sdk as an HTTP server. Fire a verification request and get the result synchronously, or use async mode to get a jobId immediately while verification runs in the background — with optional webhook push on completion.

Install & Run

# Run directly
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=... XAI_API_KEY=... npx pot-api

# Or install globally
npm install -g pot-api
pot-api

Default port: 3141. Override with PORT=8080.

Endpoints

POST /verify — Sync

Blocks until verification is complete (~5–30s depending on tier).

curl -X POST http://localhost:3141/verify \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "output": "The Eiffel Tower is 330m tall.",
    "question": "How tall is the Eiffel Tower?",
    "tier": "basic"
  }'

Returns: VerificationResult (confidence, flags, mdi, sas, dissent, synthesis)

POST /verify/async — Async + Webhook

Returns {jobId} immediately. Verification runs in background.

curl -X POST http://localhost:3141/verify/async \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "output": "The Eiffel Tower is 330m tall.",
    "question": "How tall is the Eiffel Tower?",
    "tier": "basic",
    "callbackUrl": "https://your-agent.example.com/webhook"
  }'

# → {"jobId":"abc-123","status":"pending","pollUrl":"/jobs/abc-123"}

When done, pot-api POSTs to your callbackUrl:

{
  "jobId": "abc-123",
  "status": "done",
  "result": { "verified": true, "confidence": 0.91, ... }
}

GET /jobs/:id — Poll Status

curl http://localhost:3141/jobs/abc-123
# → {"id":"abc-123","status":"running","input":{...}}
# → {"id":"abc-123","status":"done","result":{...}}

Status values: pending → running → done | error
