API Overview

Version

1.0

The API is a RESTful resource

The IFA API attempts to conform to the design principles of Representational State Transfer (REST). The API presently supports the following data formats: XML and JSON.

POST vs. GET

In general, methods which retrieve data require a GET request. Methods which insert or update data require a POST request (unless specified otherwise).

Basic Auth

The IFA API expects all required methods pass basic auth credentials in the form of username:password. Please see the individual method documentation for which methods required basic auth.

API Key

Only one method currently requires an api key. Keys are handed out on a case-by-case basis. Please contact us if you'd like to learn more.
