Endpoints

• POST /request: Called by IDKit. Initializes a proof verification request.
• GET /request/:id: Called by World App. Used to fetch the proof verification request. One time use.
• PUT /response/:id: Called by World App. Used to send the proof back to the application.
• GET /response/:id: Called by IDKit. Continuous pulling to fetch the status of the request and the response if available. Response can only be retrieved once.

Local Development

An easy way to run is using a Dockerized Redis:
