The API is [[Wikipedia:Restful|RESTful]] and being served via HTTP(S) using [[Wikipedia:Json|JSON]] notation.
 +
 +
The common RESTful url format is:
 +
 +
http[s]://<SERVER>/<OBJECT>[/<COMMAND>]?<AUTH-TOKEN>=value[&ARG=value[;ARG=value]..]
 +
 +
For the beginning, API is not secure for reasons:
 +
 +
* Implement initial version in short period of time;
 +
* The only users, for the beginning, are teachers and students from one-teacher scholls.
 +
 +
In particular:
 +
 +
* API is being provided only via HTTP;
 +
* The {{Code|AUTH-TOKEN}} is the {{Code|uid}} which is a hashed value from Sugar profile public SSH key (the same as JID value in Sugar Shell but without the domain part) that does not require any handshake procedures.
 +
 +
The {{Code|OBJECT}} value is one of the [[#Objects|following]] objects. When {{Code|COMMAND}} and a set of {{Code|ARG}}s depend on {{Code|OBJECT}}.
