API Routes

This table contains all the methods and URLs that the API currently supports. For more information on using a particular route, simply go through to that route's page.

Some routes have no parameters at all, and can be accessed simply by doing the HTTP request. Some routes require parameters as part of the URL - they will be denoted by curly braces, and are always mandatory. Some requests expect parameters to be sent in the body of a JSON request.

Users and Profiles

These routes are all about managing user accounts and profiles. Not all the routes are secure (require authentication).
