API - v1.1

Generally speaking, you will send a method along with method specific arguments to the URL https://api.wpseek.com/1.1/.



Rules

  • All requests are GET.
  • If the entire path cannot be consumed, a 404 error will be returned (path was not found).
  • If the path can be fully consumed, and HTTP method handlers are present in the path but none are matched, a 405 "Method Not Allowed" response will be returned (if the request is a POST, but only a GET handler is available).
  • If the path can be fully consumed, and format handlers are present in the path but none are matched, a 406 "Not Acceptable" response will be returned (if ‘xml’ is requested, but only a 'json' handler is available).
