# parmana.api.refusal_api

Parmana Refusal Record API (RFC-0021).

## RefusalApi Objects

```python theme={null}
class RefusalApi()
```

Refusal Record API (RFC-0021).

## Responsibilities

* Verify a Refusal Record's signature
* Retrieve a Refusal Record by Business Transaction ID

This API does NOT:

* execute Business Transactions
* verify Execution Trust Records
* replay executions

#### verify

```python theme={null}
def verify(record: RefusalRecord) -> bool
```

Verify a Refusal Record's signature.

Maps to POST /refusal/verify -- takes the record itself, not a
lookup by id. No caller authentication is required by this
route: it is the capability that makes a refusal independently
third-party verifiable (RFC-0021).

## Parameters

record:
The Refusal Record to verify.

## Returns

True if the signature is valid, False otherwise.

#### get

```python theme={null}
def get(business_transaction_id: str) -> RefusalRecord
```

Retrieve a Refusal Record by Business Transaction ID.

Maps to GET /refusal/:businessTransactionId. Unlike verify()
above, this route is behind caller-auth and ownership scoping,
identically to TrustRecordApi.get().

## Parameters

business\_transaction\_id:
Business Transaction identifier.

## Returns

Refusal Record.
