Getting Started » overview
The API consists of a set of callable methods with a single endpoint.
To perform an action using the API you need to send a request to the endpoint specifying a method and some arguments, and will receive a formatted response.
The REQUIRED parameter Method is used to specify the calling method.
The REQUIRED parameters APIKey and Signature are used to authenticate your account.
The REQUIRED parameter Version is used to determine which API version to use (currently only version 0.1)
The optional parameter ResponseType is used to specifiy a response format.
As an account holder, you can create your key/signature pair via the "edit profile" page.
These values are essentially account passwords that must be kept secret from the public. If you do not plan to use this
API, make sure to delete your key/signature pair from the system - you can always recreate it later
