Evidence Service

Simple API for retrieving all the sentences used as evidence for a given assertion. Exposes three endpoint:

The root endpoint / returns a list of 5 random assertion ids (useful for testing and health checks)

-/version simply returns the current version as a string

-/api/sentences/ accepts a JSON list of assertion or evidence IDs (the same list can have both types) and returns all evidence for the assertion. If an ID is for evidence the service will return all evidence for the associated assertion. The request JSON can also provide limit and threshold attributes. limit will cap the total number of evidence records returned per assertion, and threshold will only return evidence records with score >= threshold.

The example input

{
	"ids": ["122f3d2f8876dc6856866f9b69922f31e8879e7470134c0348f74c84d688cad1"]
}

yields the output
