Request and Response

All API are accessible via simple HTTP protocol. Access token is required for all APIs except auth api. Response is always in JSON even when if there is an error in request. Response always follows the same structure. API is only accessible via HTTPS protocol. All API response are always gzip encoded. Read Content-Type header in the response, before processing the content. Most library takes care of decoding gzip by default.

Cache

Our API supports Etag based caching. In all response, if a cache is applicable for the request, we will provide Etag via the response header. On requesting with a ETag, we will return 304 status if the data is not modified. Its beneficial for calling same API multiple times for the score update. Hence, it saves a bandwidth and it's not required to refresh the screen, if nothing is changed.
