The API is [[Wikipedia:Restful|RESTful]] and being served via HTTP(S) using [[Wikipedia:Json|JSON]] notation. The common RESTful request url format is:
   −
  http[s]://<SERVER>/<RESOURCE>[/<GUID|ACTION>[/<ACTION>]][?<ARG>=<>..]
+
  http[s]://<SERVER>[/<RESOURCE>[/<GUID>[/<PROPERTY>]]][?[cmd=<COMMAND>][&<ARGUMENT>=<VALUE>..]]
    
When:
 
When:
   −
* ''RESOURCE'' value is one of [[#Resources|existing]] resources;
+
* {{Code|SERVER}}, particular Sugar Network API server, e.g., http://api-testing.network.sugarlabs.org;
−
* ''GUID'', the ''RESOURCE'''s particular object;
+
* {{Code|RESOURCE}}, name one of the [[#Resources|existing]] resources;
−
* ''ACTION'' and a set of ''ARG''s depend on particular ''RESOURCE''.
+
* {{Code|GUID}}, the {{Code|RESOURCE}}'s particular object;
 +
* {{Code|PROPERTY}}, particular property of {{Code|GUID}} object;
 +
* {{Code|COMMAND}}, optional command name; combination of HTTP request method ({{Code|GET}}, {{Code|POST}}, {{Code|PUT}}, or, {{Code|DELETE}}) and [possibly empty] {{Code|COMMAND}} composes the requested [[#Actions|action]];
 +
* {{Code|ARGUMENT}}s and {{Code|VALUE}}s depend on particular [[#Actions|action]].
    
If request needs to send data, it should send Python dictionary converted to [[Wikipedia:Json|JSON]] notation.
 
If request needs to send data, it should send Python dictionary converted to [[Wikipedia:Json|JSON]] notation.
   −
Server all time replies with dictionary in JSON notation. If request was failed, the replied dictionary will contain {{Code|request}}, with original request, and {{Code|error}}, with error message, keys. Otherwise, dictionary keys in response will be set accordingly to the particular request.

In most cases (see [[#Actions|actions]] for exceptions), server replies with dictionary in JSON notation. If request was failed, the replied dictionary will contain {{Code|request}}, with original request, and {{Code|error}}, with error message, keys. Otherwise, dictionary keys in response will be set accordingly to the particular request.
