# Verify an official source

# Verify an Official Source

Use this workflow to confirm where a section is sourced from and how confidently it is linked.

## 1) Fetch section sources

```bash theme={null}
curl "https://api.localcode.ai/v1/code-sections/{code_section_id}/sources" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {LOCALCODE_API_KEY}"
```

## 2) Evaluate each source entry

Review:

* `source_url`
* `official_source_url`
* `source_reference`
* `source_verification_status`
* `analysis_confidence`

Interpretation note: `source_url` is the URL on the source record, while `official_source_url` is the canonical provenance URL when that canonical mapping is available.

Treat `source_verification_status=verified` as a trust state; use `analysis_confidence` only as extraction or matching confidence.

## 3) Cross-check lineage context

```bash theme={null}
curl "https://api.localcode.ai/v1/code-sections/{code_section_id}/legislative-chain" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {LOCALCODE_API_KEY}"
```

Use shared provenance fields to align section source and lineage evidence.
