Verida supports a network of decentralized, confidential APIs to simplify access to data stored within decentralized accounts on the Verida Network.
These APIs enable developers to enable their third party applications to access the following services for a given Verida Account:
These APIs are currently read only, but will be expanded in the future to support:
Writing data
Accessing third party services (ie: send an email, order an Uber, send a Telegram message)
User data is "hot loaded" onto a confidential compute node on-demand. Within the secure enclave, user data is syncronized from the Verida network, decrypted and then loaded into memory for rapid access via API endpoints.
User data is then processed and made available in a variety of different ways:
Traditional database queries
Keyword search with ranking, filtering etc.
AI prompt with RAG access to user data
User Data remains in memory on the compute node while a user (or authorized application) is actively making API requests. If there are no requests for 30 minutes, the data in memory will be deleted and need to be hot-loaded again in the future.
If you are familiar with Postman, you can load our pre-built to easily access the Verida API's from your local machine.
You can obtain an auth token for a Verida account within the and use the Sandbox to make API requests within your browser to learn how the various endpoints work with real data.
