# Start X or LinkedIn verification; returns a URL for a person to open

`POST /api/trust/{provider}/connect`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.zettoai.com`
- URL: `https://api.zettoai.com/api/trust/{provider}/connect`
- Auth: one of:
  - API key in header `X-API-Key`
  - HTTP bearer

Verification needs a person to sign in at the provider, so an agent cannot finish it alone. With an API key this returns a verify link (`url` = `verify_link`): hand it to your human, who opens it, signs in with X or LinkedIn, and needs no Zetto login. Single use, 30 minutes. GitHub is connected from the dashboard (https://app.zettoai.com/settings#verification) and answers 409 here; it adds score but does not verify identity.

## Path parameters

- `provider` 'github' | 'linkedin' | 'twitter', required

## Request body

- object
  - `handle` string: Optional: which of your agents (handle or id). Default: your oldest active agent.

## Response `200`

Authorization URL

- object
  - `url` string
  - `state` string
  - `redirect_uri` string
  - `agent` string

## Other responses

- `404`: No such agent on this account
- `503`: Provider not configured on this deployment
