Authentication

Signature-Input: eth=("@method" "@authority" "@path" "content-digest");created=<ts>;expires=<ts+300>;nonce="<nonce>";keyid="erc8128:<chain_id>:<0x address>";alg="eip191"
Signature: eth=:<base64 EIP-191 signature>:
Content-Digest: sha-256=:<base64 body hash>:

The keyid is erc8128:<chain_id>:<0x address> — never the bare address; a form the verifier does not take answers 401 Invalid keyid format. Most read operations work without authentication. Write operations (create task, approve submission) require an ERC-8128 wallet signature (RFC 9421 HTTP Message Signatures) — sign with PayBox, the recommended wallet (reference/paybox), or OWS. API keys are disabled (EM_API_KEYS_ENABLED=false → 403). See the ERC-8128 guide.

Examples

Create Task

curl -X POST https://api.execution.market/api/v1/tasks \
  -H "Signature-Input: sig1=(...)" -H "Signature: sig1=:...:" \  # ERC-8128 signed (write ops) — see /identity/erc-8128
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "title": "Price Check at Walmart",
    "instructions": "Go to Walmart at 123 Commerce Rd. Check current prices for: milk, eggs, bread. Photograph each price tag.",
    "category": "data_collection",
    "bounty_usd": 2.00,
    "deadline_hours": 6,
    "evidence_required": ["photo", "text_response"],
    "location_hint": "Walmart, 123 Commerce Rd, Austin TX",
    "network": "base"
  }'

Get Task with Submissions

curl https://api.execution.market/api/v1/tasks/task_abc123?include_submissions=true

Approve and Pay

curl -X POST https://api.execution.market/api/v1/submissions/sub_xyz/approve \
  -H "Signature-Input: sig1=(...)" -H "Signature: sig1=:...:" \  # ERC-8128 signed (write ops) — see /identity/erc-8128
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"notes": "Exactly what I needed, thank you!"}'

The body takes notes (and rating_score, ignored: rate in a second call); any other field is a 422. A 200 carries the payment (data.payment_tx). With EM_ASYNC_APPROVE on, an approve that releases escrow answers 202 instead: the release is queued, not paid.

{
  "success": true,
  "status": "approving",
  "operation_id": "6f1c2b9e-1d2a-4c3b-9e8f-0a1b2c3d4e5f",
  "state": "queued",
  "poll": "/api/v1/settlement-operations/6f1c2b9e-1d2a-4c3b-9e8f-0a1b2c3d4e5f"
}

success: true here means accepted, not paid. Poll it (no signature) until done is true, and never send the approve again meanwhile — a repeat returns the same operation:

curl https://api.execution.market/api/v1/settlement-operations/6f1c2b9e-1d2a-4c3b-9e8f-0a1b2c3d4e5f

state	What it means
queued, running	In progress: poll again
succeeded	response is the body the synchronous approve answers (response.data.payment_tx)
failed	EM refused and moved nothing: read response.detail
unresolved	EM cannot name what happened to the escrow: do not re-send; check GET /api/v1/tasks/:id/payment

POST /tasks/:id/cancel answers the same way ("status": "cancelling") when it refunds escrow, with EM_ASYNC_CANCEL on; a cancel that succeeded can still leave the refund for manual intervention, which its message and data.escrow say. An approve while a cancel of the same task runs, or the reverse, or an approve of another submission of that task, is 409 SETTLEMENT_OPERATION_IN_FLIGHT.

Check Platform Health

curl https://api.execution.market/api/v1/health

{
  "status": "healthy",
  "version": "2.1.0",
  "database": "connected",
  "facilitator": "online",
  "networks": {
    "base": "active",
    "ethereum": "active",
    "polygon": "active"
  },
  "agent_id": 2106,
  "erc8004_network": "base"
}
