DISHA 4.0 HCOS Core OpenAPI v3.1 Specification & API Reference
Explore the standardized REST and GraphQL endpoints powering decentralized identity verification, CEL audit logging, ZK-proof generation, and automated financial disbursals.
API Architecture & Integration Modules
Three core API module groups expose the full HCOS pipeline to external integrators.
Sovereign Identity & PIL Endpoints
/v1/identityIssue, resolve, and manage decentralized identifiers (DIDs) and credential schemas for individuals and institutions.
- ✓DID issuance & resolution
- ✓Key rotation contracts
- ✓Credential schema registry
- ✓PIL anchor verification
Ledger & CEL Audit Endpoints
/v1/ledgerQuery immutable activity blocks, micro-credential completions, and timestamped assessment hashes from the Cryptographic Event Ledger.
- ✓Immutable block queries
- ✓Merkle proof retrieval
- ✓Certificate hash validation
- ✓Timestamped audit trails
ZK Proof & Underwriting Endpoints
/v1/underwriting/verifySubmit zero-knowledge verification requests for financial risk modeling and instant eligibility checks without exposing raw PII.
- ✓ZK-SNARK proof submission
- ✓Eligibility threshold checks
- ✓Privacy-preserving assertions
- ✓Lender API integration
HCOS Stage 1–5 API Layer Mapping
Multi-stage technical architecture exposed through the OpenAPI specification.
DID Resolution & Key Rotation
/v1/identity/did:dishaSovereign identity anchor for all HCOS participants. The PIL endpoint handles DID issuance, resolution, and cryptographic key rotation contracts for individuals and institutions.
Tamper-Proof Certificate Validation
/v1/cel/verify-proofVerify-proof endpoint validates micro-credential completions and timestamped assessment hashes against the immutable Cryptographic Event Ledger.
Privacy-Preserving Attribute Assertion
/v1/zk/verifyThe ZK verify endpoint receives zero-knowledge inputs for privacy-preserving attribute assertions — enabling financial eligibility checks without exposing raw student data.

RESPONSES
Developer Experience & Architect Testimonials
Feedback from Chief Architects, Lead Integration Engineers, and Fintech CTOs.
“The OpenAPI 3.1 spec is the cleanest I've reviewed in five years of fintech integrations. Schema contracts are precise, versioned, and the ZK endpoint documentation is genuinely groundbreaking.”
Arjun Mehta
Chief Architect, NeoFinance Technologies
“We integrated the HCOS identity and ledger endpoints in under 48 hours. The TypeScript SDK types are perfectly aligned with the spec — zero guesswork, zero runtime surprises.”
Priya Nair
Lead Integration Engineer, EduStack Platforms
“As a fintech CTO, I've seen hundreds of API specs. DISHA's OpenAPI 3.1 documentation sets a new benchmark — especially the ZK proof endpoint coverage and the privacy-preserving underwriting flows.”
Vikram Sinha
CTO, CredBridge Fintech
“The interactive Swagger-style documentation made onboarding our backend team trivial. The response schema contracts are immutable and versioned — exactly what enterprise integrations demand.”
Dr. Ananya Krishnan
VP Engineering, SkillBridge Global
“DISHA's CEL audit endpoint documentation is exceptional. Every field is annotated, every error code is documented with resolution steps. This is what developer-first API design looks like.”
Rahul Desai
Senior Backend Engineer, GovTech Solutions India
“The raw YAML spec download was immediately importable into our internal API gateway. No modifications needed. The schema definitions are production-grade from day one.”
