Monite API Overview

This page gives you a general overview of base concepts we use in the Monite API.

Authentication

All API requests to the Monite API platform must be made over HTTPS. Calls made over plain HTTP will fail.

For more information on our authentication mechanism, see Authentication.

HTTP methods

Monite services follow the standard CRUD resource models. This maps to the standard HTTP verbs:

HTTP methodDescription
GETTo retrieve a resource, or a collection of resources.
POSTTo create a new resource, or to execute a complex operation on a resource.
PATCHTo update a resource partially.
PUTTo update a resource by providing a full replacement representation.
DELETETo delete a resource.

Date and time

Timestamps are returned in UTC and formatted as YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss[.zzzzzz][Z|±hh:mm] (ISO 8601).

Dates without the time part are formatted as YYYY-MM-DD.
