The API supports XML, JSON, and PHP serialization formats. By default JSON formatting is used. So if there is an error detecting the format of the request (due to a bad URL, for example) the error response will be returned in JSON format.
Errors
There are seven types of errors that may be encountered when working with the API:
Sending invalid parameters will result in 400 Bad Request response
No Format HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request Content-Length: 218 { "model": { "message":"The request cannot be fulfilled due to bad syntax.", "errors": { "username": { "empty":"Please enter a username." }, "new_password": { "format":"Please enter a password at least 6 characters in length." } } } }Providing invalid credentials will result in a 401 Unauthorized response
No Format HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized Content-Length: 67 {"message":"The authorization details given appear to be invalid."}

The API returns all timestamps in UTC time using the following ISO 8601 format:

If the timezone can not be determined from the timestamp, the system will assume the timezone timestamp is in local time. For this reason you should always specify a timezone in your timestamps. For details on checking or setting the local timezone for the system check your localization settings. |
