This section provides a comprehensive guide on querying the API. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced developer, this documentation will help you understand how to make effective queries to our API.

Basic Query Structure

To query the API, you typically use the following structure:

GET /api/resource?query_params
  • GET is the HTTP method used to retrieve data.
  • /api/resource is the endpoint where the data is located.
  • ?query_params are optional parameters that can be used to filter or modify the data returned by the API.

Query Parameters

Query parameters are used to filter or modify the data returned by the API. Here are some common query parameters:

  • limit: Limits the number of results returned by the API.
  • offset: Skips a specified number of results before starting to return data.
  • sort: Sorts the results by a specified field.
  • filter: Filters the results based on a specified condition.

Example

Suppose you want to retrieve a list of users from the API. You can do so by making a GET request to the following endpoint:

GET /api/users?limit=10

This request will return the first 10 users from the API.

Best Practices

  • Always use HTTPS to secure your API requests.
  • Use proper error handling to handle any issues that may arise during the API request.
  • Always check the API documentation for the latest information on query parameters and endpoints.
