Using the API Keep the following considerations in mind when using Alida APIs: URL structure The URL structure contains a base URL, the version of the API, the community's API key name, and the resource you would like to call. Authentication Alida APIs use OAuth keys to authenticate a user. You can create an authentication key within the Alida platform. Making requests Alida APIs use a common structure for making API requests across the various resources. Response payload API responses are wrapped in a standard payload that contains the results of the API request, as well as additional information and metadata. Errors All Alida APIs return a common error object if the request fails.
