API Highlights

• API type: REST (JSON via HTTPS).
• Authentication: Via HTTP Basic Authentication.
• Rate limits: This is up to you since we charge for every request. Typical usage would be 1-50 requests per day and Interest.
• Security: All requests are performed via SSL. We properly encrypt all credentials on the wire and in the DB. We filter credentials so they never get stored in our server logs. Our firewalls are locked down tightly.
