API basics

The Archefusion API is a RESTful, JSON-based API that uses standard HTTP methods and requires authentication for all requests. All requests must be made over HTTPS.

Base URL

The base URL for all endpoints is https://dev.api-gateway.archefusion.com. This works for both test and live environments. Your API key determines which environment you are in.

Environment and API keys

Archefusion offers two completely isolated environments: Test and Live. Each of these environments has its own set of keys. Use the test keys for development and testing. Switch to live keys when you are ready for production.
See authentication for details on obtaining and managing your API keys.

Content-Type

All requests must include a Content-Type header set to application/json. Requests and response bodies are formatted as JSON.

HTTP methods

Archefusion uses standard HTTP verbs for different actions.

HTTP response codes

Archefusion returns standard HTTP response codes to indicate the outcome of each request.
