Overview

The grouping of HTTP endpoints reflects the high-level entities of the Airy Core Data Model.

Conventions

All HTTP endpoints adhere to the following conventions:

  • Endpoints only accept POST JSON requests.
  • We use dots for namespacing URLs (eg /things.add).

Pagination

By default, paginated endpoints return a maximum of 20 elements on the first page.

The size of the returned page can be controlled by the page_size field of the body. You can move back and forth between pages using the cursor field of the body.

Paginated endpoints always respond with the following JSON format:

{
"data": [
{
"id": "a688d36c-a85e-44af-bc02-4248c2c97622",
"field1": "answer is 42",
"field2": "this is fine"
}
],
"pagination_data": {
"previous_cursor": "",
"next_cursor": "",
"total": 1
}
}

The response comes in two parts:

  • data An array of objects. Object specification depends on the endpoint.

  • pagination_data An object with the following fields:

    • previous_cursor

      The ID of first elements in the previous page of data. Empty if the returned page is the first one.

    • next_cursor

      The ID of first elements in the next page of data. Empty if the returned page is the last one.

    • total

      The total number of elements across pages in the context of the current filter selection if it exists.
