# Storage Proof API

Request storage proofs quickly and easily

The Storage Proof API enables developers to request storage proofs quickly and easily. There is no need to understand cryptography, zero-knowledge proofs, or how to write circuits. The API handles scheduling, mutualizes many costs associated with generating storage proofs and saves developers significant time so they can focus on building their on-chain data-powered applications.

Requests to this API initiate actions or processes, like running the Storage Proof Workflow. The product name remains **Storage Proof API**; HTTP traffic is served by **Mission Control**.
