# Verify a single compliance requirement

POST https://api.pyramid-ai.com/api/v2/check/verify
Content-Type: application/json

Synchronous single-shot check. Runs the requirement against the project's
knowledge and returns a verdict with evidence and recommendation.
Timeout: 300s.


Reference: https://documents.pyramid-ai.com/api-reference/api-explorer/check/verify-requirement

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — Pyramid API key (prefix with "Bearer ")

## Servers

- `https://api.pyramid-ai.com` (Production, default)
- `https://api-staging.pyramid-ai.com` (Staging (sandbox) — use pai_test_* keys)

## Request

### Body (application/json)

This endpoint expects an object.

- `project_id` (string, required)
- `requirement` (string, required)
- `handbook_ids` (list of string, optional) — Scope to specific handbooks. Omit to use all available.
- `response_format` (enum, optional, default: text)
  - Allowed values: `text`, `json`

## Response

### 200

Verification result

- `request_id` (string, required) — Server-generated per-request UUID. Also sent as `X-Request-Id` response header. Include in support tickets.
- `success` (any, required)
- `data` (VerifyResult, optional)
- `pagination` (Pagination, optional) — Present only on list endpoints. Top-level (not nested inside `data`).

## Errors

### 400 Bad Request Error

Validation error

- `success` (any, required)
- `error` (ApiErrorError, required)
- `request_id` (string, required)

### 401 Unauthorized Error

Unauthorized

- `success` (any, required)
- `error` (ApiErrorError, required)
- `request_id` (string, required)

### 404 Not Found Error

Handbook not found

- `success` (any, required)
- `error` (ApiErrorError, required)
- `request_id` (string, required)

## Types

### VerifyResult

- `verdict` (enum, required) — Compliance check verdict.
  - Allowed values: `COMPLIANT`, `CONTRADICTS`, `NOT_FOUND`
- `confidence` (double, required)
- `evidence` (string, required)
- `explanation` (string, required)
- `sources` (list of VerifyResultSourcesItems, required)
- `handbook` (VerifyResultHandbook, required)
- `recommendation` (string, optional, nullable)

### Pagination

Offset-based pagination for list endpoints. Clients compute `has_more` from `offset + data.length < total`. Cursor pagination may be added per-endpoint later if deep-pagination performance becomes a concern.

- `total` (integer, required) — Total item count matching the filters (ignoring limit/offset).
- `offset` (integer, required)
- `limit` (integer, required, default: 50)

### ApiErrorError

- `code` (enum, required)
  - Allowed values: `VALIDATION_ERROR`, `UNAUTHORIZED`, `FORBIDDEN`, `FEATURE_NOT_ENABLED`, `AGENT_NOT_ENABLED`, `QUOTA_EXCEEDED`, `NOT_FOUND`, `CONFLICT`, `IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_REUSED`, `IDEMPOTENCY_IN_PROGRESS`, `UPLOAD_NOT_FOUND`, `UPLOAD_SIZE_MISMATCH`, `RATE_LIMITED`, `INTERNAL_ERROR`
- `message` (string, required) — Human-readable description. May be shown to end users; keep stable across minor changes.
- `docs_url` (string, optional) — Link to the error's documentation section.
- `field` (string, optional) — Only for `VALIDATION_ERROR`. JSONPath-ish reference to the offending field (e.g. `body.project_id`).
- `feature` (string, optional) — Only for `FEATURE_NOT_ENABLED`. The feature key the request required.

### VerifyResultSourcesItems

- `handbook_id` (string, optional)
- `node_id` (string, optional)
- `title` (string, optional)
- `start_page` (integer, optional, nullable)
- `end_page` (integer, optional, nullable)

### VerifyResultHandbook

- `id` (string, required)
- `name` (string, required)
