API overview
The API is JSON in, JSON out, and deterministic: same input, same verdict, bit for bit.
Base URL: https://api.alphaassay.com.
Public endpoints — no account needed
| endpoint | what it does |
|---|---|
| POST /v1/assay/demo | run a golden specimen through the full battery — free, rate-limited |
| POST /v1/certificate/verify | authenticity check of any certificate — powers /verify |
| GET /v1/public/calibration | our daily public track record — format |
| GET /v1/public/graveyard-digest | anonymised statistics of failed strategy families |
Paid endpoints
Validation, pre-registration, forensics and certification use the same request shapes as the demo. Agents discover the exact endpoint and live price through the x402 quote; teams receive the full OpenAPI specification at onboarding.
Conventions
Every response carries a request id header for support and replay. Errors are structured JSON with the same honesty as verdicts — a rate limit says exactly when to retry, an invalid input says exactly which field. And every assay response ends with the disclaimer that is also our business model: methodology audit, not investment advice.
