Welcome to the Developer Documentation

This documentation provides comprehensive information on how to integrate with our powerful API. Explore the sections below to understand authentication, available endpoints, and error handling.

Authentication Overview

Our API uses token-based authentication. You'll need to obtain an API token to make requests to protected resources. Unauthenticated requests will result in a 401 Unauthorized error.

API Tokens

API tokens are generated within your developer dashboard. Treat your tokens like passwords and do not share them publicly. To authenticate your requests, include your API token in the Authorization header as a Bearer token.

Example:

GET /api/v1/users
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN

Users Endpoint

Error Handling

We use standard HTTP status codes to indicate the success or failure of an API request. Error responses include a JSON body with details about the error.

Status Code	Meaning	Possible Causes
`200 OK`	Success	Standard successful response.
`201 Created`	Created	Resource successfully created.
`400 Bad Request`	Invalid Request	Malformed request syntax, invalid parameters, missing required fields.
`401 Unauthorized`	Authentication Required	Missing or invalid API token.
`403 Forbidden`	Permission Denied	Authenticated user lacks permission for the action.
`404 Not Found`	Resource Not Found	The requested resource does not exist.
`500 Internal Server Error`	Server Error	An unexpected error occurred on our server.

Example: 400 Bad Request Response

{
  "error": {
    "code": "INVALID_PARAMETER",
    "message": "The 'quantity' parameter must be a positive integer.",
    "details": "Received quantity: -1"
  }
}
