# API documentation

**Architecture pattern.** K Pro exposes two programmable surfaces: a REST API for synchronous job submission, status polling, and result retrieval (structured JSON with provenance), and an MCP server endpoint that lets external agents discover and invoke K Pro platform directly.

Long-running work (e.g. literature mining, multi-omic queries, federated analyses) runs asynchronously through the orchestrator. Submissions return a job ID; completion may be delivered via webhook callback or polled status.

**Representative use cases.**

* **Batch target scoring.** A differential-expression pipeline submits a gene list; the orchestrator runs the target-evaluation agent over each entry and returns a ranked JSON payload with confidence and evidence links.
* **Pipeline step.** Nextflow or Snakemake stages call K Pro as a typed REST node, blocking on a webhook callback before downstream steps proceed.
* **Embedded reasoning.** A customer's own agent calls K Pro tools over MCP to compose target-evaluation reasoning into its own workflow without round-tripping data through a UI.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.owkin.com/connect-and-integrate/authentication-and-sso.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
