# Basics

# RESTful API

The CloudSignal API is RESTful. All API calls are implemented as HTTP post requests.

# Request Data

All request data posted to the API must be in JSON objects. The documentation for each API call describes the request data parameters in detail.

# Return Data

In case on a HTTP response code 400 the return data can contain an error message. In all other cases the return data is not used.

# HTTP response code

The HTTP response code 200 is a positive responses, all other response codes must be considered as error.

# Content-type

Set content-type to application/json on all requests.

# Authentication

Authentication on the CloudSignal API is done via the API key. The API key is generated by the Cloudprinter system when you create the CloudSignal API Interface in the admin panel.

Please note: The API key for signals is not the same API key as for incoming orders.

# Signal types

# OrderRegistered: https://api.cloudprinter.com/1.1/status/

Order received and accepted by the production.
