requestProof

Request ZK proof generation for a photo. Returns a request ID for polling status.

Usage

const { provingClient } = useProver();
 
const requestId = await provingClient.requestProof(photoUri);

Parameters

originalPath

Type: string
Required

Path or URI to a photo with succinct.bindings assertion (captured with ZCamera).

Returns

Promise<string>

Request ID for polling proof status with getProofStatus() or useProofRequestStatus().

Example

import { useState } from "react";
import { Button, Text } from "react-native";
import { useProver } from "@succinctlabs/react-native-zcam1/proving";
 
function ProveButton({ photoUri }: { photoUri: string }) {
  const { provingClient } = useProver();
  const [requestId, setRequestId] = useState<string | null>(null);
 
  const handleProve = async () => {
    if (!provingClient) return;
    
    try {
      const id = await provingClient.requestProof(photoUri);
      setRequestId(id);
      console.log("Proof requested:", id);
    } catch (error: any) {
      console.error("Failed to request proof:", error.message);
    }
  };
 
  return (
    <>
      <Button title="Request Proof" onPress={handleProve} disabled={!!requestId} />
      {requestId && <Text>Request ID: {requestId}</Text>}
    </>
  );
}

Notes

Input photo must have succinct.bindings from the Capture SDK
Returns immediately with a request ID; actual proof generation happens asynchronously
Use getProofStatus() or useProofRequestStatus() to check completion
For simpler one-step generation, use waitAndEmbedProof() instead
