REST API Details

• Uses JSON Web Tokens for verification
  • Tokens last 7 days and are refreshed every hour upon api use

General

• JSON response will contain {"status": "ok"} on success, and {"status": "error"} on error.
• JSON response will contain response field with extra data i.e. {"status": "ok", "response": {"message": "success"}}
• JSON response will contain refresh_token field with refresh token: {"refresh_token": { username, uid, access_token, expires_in }}
• Routes require JWT to authenticate
  • Token can be sent in request with parameter ?auth_token=xxx, in x-access-token header, or in authorization header
  • No token error: { status: 'error', response: { message: 'No token provided.'}}
  • Invalid token error: { status: 'error', response: { message: 'Invalid token.'}}
