Data notary API your feed, witnessed.
Your customers should be able to inspect a feed record rather than accept it on assertion. One call sends your data, or only its digest in private mode, and returns an Ed25519-signed witness receipt carrying witnessed_at. The signature establishes integrity and attribution, not independent time.
The call
Free key to start. POST a record digest to /v1/anchor to request an RFC 3161 artifact; validate the token, digest binding and certificate path before relying on time evidence.
# notarize a reading from YOUR feed (free key: POST /signup)
curl -X POST https://dynamicfeed.ai/v1/notarize -H "X-API-Key: $KEY" \
-H "content-type: application/json" \
-d '{"payload": {"sensor": "rain_gauge_7", "mm": 18.4}, "subject": "Acme Sensors"}'
# private mode — we never see your data, only its hash
curl -X POST https://dynamicfeed.ai/v1/notarize -H "X-API-Key: $KEY" \

Every data provider faces the same question: why should anyone believe your numbers were what you say they were, when it matters — in a dispute, an audit, a claim? Building a signing stack is real cryptographic work. This is that stack, as one API call, from a neutral party with a published key and a public verification spec.
Use it for
- Sensor and IoT feeds that end up as evidence
- Research data with reproducibility requirements
- Price/market feeds whose history gets disputed
- Any provider who wants 'verifiable' on the label without building PKI
FAQ
What does a notarization attest?
That Dynamic Feed witnessed these exact bytes (or this hash) at witnessed_at — not that the content is true. It makes after-the-fact alteration provable.
Do you see my data?
Only in payload mode. In hash-only mode you send a sha256 and we witness the hash — your bytes never leave you.
Is there a public record?
Notarizations can be inspected in the hash-chained transparency log at GET /v1/notary/log. Verify the canonical record commitment and chain relationships rather than treating a public listing alone as independent trust.
Can I sign with my own key?
Yes — BYO-key mode: send provider_pubkey + provider_sig (Ed25519 over your payload hash) and the record reads 'provider signed, Dynamic Feed witnessed' — two-party proof.
How does anyone verify it?
The Ed25519 signature checks against /.well-known/keys with the public recipe at /standard — no account needed, and the recipe is public.
Can I obtain independent time evidence?
POST /v1/anchor requests an RFC 3161 artifact for the record digest. Independent time evidence requires full token/CMS, digest-binding, certificate-chain, EKU, revocation and trust-anchor validation.
What does it cost?
Notarizations work on any plan's call quota today. A dedicated Notary plan is in early access — request access at dynamicfeed.ai/request-access and tell us your volume.
Can my feed be notarized automatically?
Yes — register it once (POST /v1/notary/feeds) and every change is fetched and notarized into the public log on your interval. A standing, tamper-evident history of what you published.
