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.

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.

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.
