Get Score Breakdown

Overview

Retrieve a detailed breakdown of a user’s ZKScore across all 8 scoring categories. This endpoint provides granular insights into how the total score is calculated, including individual category scores, weights, and historical comparisons.

The breakdown helps users understand which areas contribute most to their score and where they can improve.

Specific chain ID to get breakdown for (optional, defaults to aggregated across all chains)

includeHistory

boolean

Include historical comparison data (default: false)

Response

success

boolean

Indicates if the request was successful

zksId

string | null

The ZKS ID (without .zks suffix), or null if not set

address

string

The primary wallet address

breakdown

object

Show properties

Use Cases

1. Score Visualization

Display breakdown in a dashboard:

async function displayScoreBreakdown(identity) {
  const { breakdown } = await getScoreBreakdown(identity);

  // Create chart data
  const chartData = Object.entries(breakdown.categories).map(([name, data]) => ({
    category: name,
    score: data.score,
    max: data.max,
    percentage: data.percentage
  }));

  // Render chart
  renderChart(chartData);

  // Show top categories
  const topCategories = chartData
    .sort((a, b) => b.percentage - a.percentage)
    .slice(0, 3);

  console.log('Your strongest areas:');
  topCategories.forEach(cat => {
    console.log(`  ${cat.category}: ${cat.percentage}%`);
  });
}

2. Improvement Recommendations

Suggest areas for improvement:

async function getImprovementSuggestions(identity) {
  const { breakdown } = await getScoreBreakdown(identity);

  const suggestions = [];

  Object.entries(breakdown.categories).forEach(([category, data]) => {
    if (data.percentage < 70) {
      suggestions.push({
        category,
        currentScore: data.score,
        maxScore: data.max,
        improvement: data.max - data.score,
        priority: 'high'
      });
    } else if (data.percentage < 85) {
      suggestions.push({
        category,
        currentScore: data.score,
        maxScore: data.max,
        improvement: data.max - data.score,
        priority: 'medium'
      });
    }
  });

  // Sort by potential improvement
  suggestions.sort((a, b) => b.improvement - a.improvement);

  return suggestions;
}

3. Progress Tracking

Track score changes over time:

async function trackProgress(identity) {
  const { breakdown } = await getScoreBreakdown(identity, true);

  if (breakdown.historicalComparison) {
    const { changes, percentChange } = breakdown.historicalComparison;

    console.log(`Overall change: ${percentChange > 0 ? '+' : ''}${percentChange}%`);
    console.log('\nCategory changes:');

    Object.entries(changes).forEach(([category, change]) => {
      const emoji = change > 0 ? '📈' : change < 0 ? '📉' : '➡️';
      console.log(`  ${emoji} ${category}: ${change > 0 ? '+' : ''}${change}`);
    });
  }
}

4. Comparative Analysis

Compare with network averages:

async function compareWithNetwork(identity) {
  const { breakdown } = await getScoreBreakdown(identity);

  console.log('Your percentile rankings:');
  Object.entries(breakdown.percentiles).forEach(([category, percentile]) => {
    const status = percentile >= 90 ? '🌟 Excellent' :
                   percentile >= 75 ? '✅ Above Average' :
                   percentile >= 50 ? '➡️ Average' :
                   '📊 Below Average';

    console.log(`  ${category}: ${percentile}% - ${status}`);
  });
}

Best Practices

1. Cache Breakdown Data

Breakdown data changes infrequently:

const breakdownCache = new Map();

async function getCachedBreakdown(identity) {
  const cacheKey = `breakdown:${identity}`;
  
  if (breakdownCache.has(cacheKey)) {
    const cached = breakdownCache.get(cacheKey);
    if (Date.now() - cached.timestamp < 15 * 60 * 1000) { // 15 minutes
      return cached.data;
    }
  }

  const data = await getScoreBreakdown(identity);
  breakdownCache.set(cacheKey, {
    data,
    timestamp: Date.now()
  });

  return data;
}

2. Visualize Category Performance

Use charts for better understanding:

function createRadarChart(breakdown) {
  const categories = Object.entries(breakdown.categories).map(([name, data]) => ({
    category: name,
    value: data.percentage
  }));

  // Render radar chart showing all 8 categories
  return {
    type: 'radar',
    data: categories,
    options: {
      scale: { min: 0, max: 100 }
    }
  };
}

3. Highlight Strengths and Weaknesses

function analyzeBreakdown(breakdown) {
  const categories = Object.entries(breakdown.categories);

  const strengths = categories
    .filter(([_, data]) => data.percentage >= 85)
    .map(([name, data]) => ({ name, percentage: data.percentage }));

  const weaknesses = categories
    .filter(([_, data]) => data.percentage < 70)
    .map(([name, data]) => ({ name, percentage: data.percentage }));

  return { strengths, weaknesses };
}

4. Monitor Historical Trends

async function getHistoricalTrends(identity, periods = 6) {
  const trends = [];

  for (let i = 0; i < periods; i++) {
    const data = await getScoreBreakdown(identity, true);
    trends.push({
      date: new Date(),
      totalScore: data.breakdown.totalScore,
      categories: data.breakdown.categories
    });

    // Wait before next request
    await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 1000));
  }

  return trends;
}

Troubleshooting

”Identity not found”

Cause: The identity doesn’t exist or hasn’t been activated. Solution:

Verify the identity exists
Ensure the identity is activated
Check for typos in the ZKS ID

”Insufficient data”

Cause: Not enough transaction history to calculate breakdown. Solution:

User needs more on-chain activity
Some categories may show 0 if no relevant activity
Breakdown becomes more accurate over time

”Historical data unavailable”

Cause: Historical comparison data not yet available. Solution:

Historical data requires at least 30 days of activity
Try again after more time has passed
Use includeHistory=false if not needed

Performance Tips

Cache Results: Breakdown data changes slowly, cache for 15+ minutes
Request Only When Needed: Don’t fetch on every page load
Use Pagination: For displaying multiple users, batch requests
Optimize Rendering: Render charts efficiently with libraries like Chart.js

Rate Limits

Score breakdown requests are subject to rate limits:
