cURL / HTTP

The evaluate endpoint is plain HTTP. These examples show the raw request shape. Adapt them to any language.

Basic evaluation

curl -X POST https://api.ffs.adarshrust.com/sdk/v1/evaluate \
  -H "X-SDK-Key: sdk_your_key_here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "environment": "production",
    "context": {
      "user_id": "user_42",
      "user_email": "[email protected]"
    }
  }'

Without email (ID-only)

Useful if your application doesn't have user emails, or if you use user_id targeting rules only:

curl -X POST https://api.ffs.adarshrust.com/sdk/v1/evaluate \
  -H "X-SDK-Key: sdk_your_key_here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "environment": "production",
    "context": { "user_id": "user_42" }
  }'

Against a local instance

When running the service locally via Docker:

curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/sdk/v1/evaluate \
  -H "X-SDK-Key: sdk_your_key_here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "environment": "production",
    "context": { "user_id": "test_user" }
  }'

Staging environment

curl -X POST https://api.ffs.adarshrust.com/sdk/v1/evaluate \
  -H "X-SDK-Key: sdk_your_key_here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "environment": "staging",
    "context": { "user_id": "user_42" }
  }'

Error responses

Status	Meaning
200 OK	Successful evaluation
400 Bad Request	Missing or malformed request body
401 Unauthorized	Missing or invalid SDK key
429 Too Many Requests	Rate limit exceeded
500 Internal Server Error	Service error

On any non-200 response, default all flags to false in your application and log the error for investigation.

Python example

import requests

def evaluate_flags(user_id: str, user_email: str | None = None) -> dict:
    try:
        resp = requests.post(
            f"{os.environ['FFS_API_URL']}/sdk/v1/evaluate",
            headers={
                "X-SDK-Key": os.environ["FFS_SDK_KEY"],
                "Content-Type": "application/json",
            },
            json={
                "environment": os.environ.get("FFS_ENVIRONMENT", "production"),
                "context": {"user_id": user_id, "user_email": user_email},
            },
            timeout=2,
        )
        resp.raise_for_status()
        return resp.json().get("flags", {})
    except Exception:
        return {}

flags = evaluate_flags("user_42", "[email protected]")
if flags.get("dark_mode", {}).get("enabled"):
    print("dark mode is on")
