Practical working label — agree its meaning within your project
An API Proof is a lightweight implementation that calls a specific endpoint and verifies the response matches expected structure and status. It is used to confirm feasibility and contract clarity early in a project.

When to use api proof
Create an API Proof when you need to test a new contract quickly and avoid costly rework later.
A practical example of api proof
For example, a developer builds a tiny script that sends a POST to /register and checks that the JSON reply contains a userId field.
How it applies to Ideoreto
Use this reference when preparing a project introduction or explaining your work on Ideoreto. Registration does not guarantee work, collaborators or funding.
Key takeaways
- Verify the proof script sends a request with required headers and payload.
- Confirm the response includes all fields defined in the API contract.
