The API is [[Wikipedia:Restful|RESTful]] and being served via HTTP(S) using [[Wikipedia:Json|JSON]] notation.
The API is [[Wikipedia:Restful|RESTful]] and being served via HTTP(S) using [[Wikipedia:Json|JSON]] notation. The API operates with [[#Resources|resources]] that are collections of objects. All objects are identified by global unique identifiers, GUIDs.
The common RESTful url format is:
The common RESTful request url format is:
http[s]://<SERVER>/<OBJECT>/<ACTION>?<AUTH-TOKEN>=<VALUE>[&<ARG>=<VALUE>]..]
http[s]://<SERVER>/<RESOURCE>[/<GUID|ACTION>[/<ACTION>]]?<AUTH-TOKEN>=<VALUE>[&<ARG>=<VALUE>]..]
When:
* ''RESOURCE'' value is one of [[#Resources|existing]] resources;
* ''GUID'', the ''RESOURCE'''s particular object;
* ''ACTION'' and a set of ''ARG''s depend on particular ''RESOURCE''.
Besides, particular request can send and receive data in [[Wikipedia:Json|JSON]] notation. If request processing was failed, the reply is a JSON directory that contains {{Code|error}} key with error message.
