API Documentation

Basics

Send your User ID, API Key, and any other paramters in a JSON POST request to the desired API path.

{
	"user_id": 1,
	"api_key": "3c2b3fec3de9939d6c111b5782a67992",
	"parameter": "value"
}

The API returns JSON. Check success or error boolean in the response to verify if the call succeeded. When error is true, error_code and error_message will also be provided.

{
	"success": false,
	"error": true,
	"error_code": "game_bid_already_exists",
	"error_message": "You already have a bid for this game."
}
