# Batch content usage rights evidence before RAG ingestion

`POST /v1/rights/ingestion-gate`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.getacqpath.com`
- URL: `https://api.getacqpath.com/v1/rights/ingestion-gate`
- Auth: none declared

Batch observed RSL rights evidence before RAG ingestion, AI input, training or indexing. One to four reviewed URLs; signed per-resource policy, provenance, conflicts and revalidation checkpoints. Fresh 0.04 + 0.02 per unique URL; deep 0.06 + 0.04. USDC on Base. AcqPath SIWX adapter required; not legal clearance. Charge buys a bounded observation attempt, including UNKNOWN or unavailable sources. No result is legal permission. Persist private operation state and retry the same operation with the official TypeScript/Python x402 signer plus AcqPath SIWX adapter.
