ProvenExpert API Documentation
This is the complete API documentation for connecting to the ProvenExpert API using MindCloud's Universal API. If you are new to MindCloud, start with the Introduction to see how one API can sit in front of many different apps.
MindCloud is an integration company that offers one normalized API to access 3,100+ apps from a single place. It cleans up provider-specific quirks, keeps requests and responses consistent, and centralizes authentication so you do not need to manage separate flows for every app. Browse other apps.

Quickstart
Before you run your first ProvenExpert request, you need three things:
- A MindCloud account — sign in or create an account at MindCloud.
- A MindCloud API Key — create one in API Keys. Keep it on your server.
- At least one ProvenExpert connection — create or choose one in Connections. Note its
connectionId.
Every ProvenExpert action uses the same URL pattern:
https://connect.mindcloud.co/v1/universal/provenExpert/latest/actions/{actionSlug}You need a MindCloud API Key and a ProvenExpert connection. Then call an action such as Get API Credentials:
curl --request GET \
--url "https://connect.mindcloud.co/v1/universal/provenExpert/latest/actions/get-api-credentials" \
--header "Authorization: Bearer $MINDCLOUD_API_KEY" \
--get \
--data-urlencode "connectionId=$CONNECTION_ID"Every response comes back in the same envelope, with your rows in a data array:
{
"success": true,
"data": [
{ "id": "1042", "name": "Ava" }
],
"meta": {}
}After your first request works, use Shape your requests to control arguments, pagination, filtering, fields, and errors.
Authentication
Authentication has two layers. Your MindCloud API Key authenticates the request to MindCloud, sent as a Bearer token in the Authorization header. The connectionId selects the connected ProvenExpert account that should run the action. MindCloud stores and refreshes the ProvenExpert credentials behind that connection, so you never send provider tokens with your requests.
Pass connectionId in the query string for GET and DELETE actions, and in the JSON body for POST, PUT, and PATCH actions. Keep your MindCloud API Key on your server; do not ship it in browser code, mobile apps, public repositories, or logs.
Connect ProvenExpert
You need a ProvenExpert account with API access enabled for the profile you want to connect.
- Open Developer API in ProvenExpert
Sign in to ProvenExpert, open Administration, and then open Developer API for the profile you want to connect.
Administration → Developer API - Copy the API ID and API key
Copy the API ID and API key shown on the Developer API page. ProvenExpert uses the API ID as the username and the API key as the password for Basic authentication.
- Finish the MindCloud connection
In MindCloud, paste the API ID into the Username field and the API key into the Password field, then run Test Connection.
