To get started you're going to need to know how to submit requests to the Inkthreadable API.
Each API request should include your identity by specifying AppID and Signature.
The AppID is a static value which, can be taken from your API Settings page.
The Signature value will need to be generated at your side as SHA1(request body + Secret Key).
The Secret Key is an auto-generated value, which can be taken from your API Settings page.
POST: For API requests using this method, you'll need to include the whole content of the request.
GET: API requests using this method requires everything after the ? symbol, excluding your Signature parameter.
Request formats
Requests can be made in either JSON or XML:
Requests: Requests sent using GET can use either JSON or XML formats. If you're using POST, you'll need to specify the format of your requests using Content-Type. All answers to these requests will be in the same format as the format of the request.
Answers: If you're using GET, the format of answers will need to be specified using the 'format' parameter. You can use either 'JSON' or 'XML' as the value - if omitted this will default to 'JSN'.
