Connecting

The host for all API calls is:

https://api.speccheck.com

Any resources located at a different domain will have their whole URL provided where needed - for example media files hosted via CDNs.

HTTPS

All connections to the API must be made via https, preferably using TLS1.3, or TLS1.2 if unavailable.

Connections made via http will be automatically redirected to https, however this redirect will cause an unnecessary performance penalty.

Data Extensibility

Where possible all API communication will be done using JSON.

The API schema follows the Open Closed Principle - Data is open to extension, closed to modification. As such new properties may be added to existing response schemas over time - please ensure that any clients are able to handle this.

Authentication

All calls to the API must be authenticated as described in the next page.
