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 method | Description |
|---|---|
GET | To retrieve a resource, or a collection of resources. |
POST | To create a new resource, or to execute a complex operation on a resource. |
PATCH | To update a resource partially. |
PUT | To update a resource by providing a full replacement representation. |
DELETE | To 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.
