Data Formats

Date Updated: August 2014

JSON

JSON (javascript object notation)

The Essentials API returns JSON - you don't need to explicitly tell the API to return in this format.

However, if you like to be sure you are receiving JSON you can set 'Accept: application/json' in your header.

Note: if you are passing data to the Essentials API using PUT or POST format you must set 'Content-Type: application/json' in your header.
