Let's walk through core API concepts as we tackle some everyday use cases.

Overview

Most applications will use an existing wrapper library in the language of your choice, but it's important to familiarize yourself with the underlying API HTTP methods first. There's no easier way to kick the tires than through cURL . If you are using an alternative client, note that you are required to send a valid Authentication token in your request.
