API Structure

The API follows RESTful principles with:

Standard HTTP verbs (GET, POST, PUT) for resource operations
JSON-formatted response bodies
Idempotent requests using client-generated resource identifiers
Discrete URL endpoints for accessing different resources
Basic HTTP authentication using API keys

Our API is version-controlled with major version numbers included in each resource endpoint to ensure compatibility as we release new features:
