Introduction

See Service API Design for the rationale and design details for this api.

Encoding

The primary request and response encoding for the service is JSON. Here's a handy tool to make a blob of JSON more readable: http://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/

In responses from the service, dates are serialized as long integers expressing epoch time - the number of seconds elapsed since midnight Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) of January 1, 1970, not counting leap seconds. Here's a handy tool to convert from epoch time to human readable dates: http://www.epochconverter.com/

In requests to the service, dates can be serialized either as long integers expressing epoch time or human readable dates in http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3339.txt format such as '2011-01-31' or '2011-01-31T22:00:00'
