[[PageOutline(1-100,Table of Contents)]] = Overview = This is the first version of API. The main purpose of this version of API is to provide a way for external applications, e.g., learning management system, to interact with iPeer with tighter integration and better user experience. Data returned will be in JSON format with XML support coming later. = Authentication = OAuth 1.0a = Responses & Status Code = The API attempts to return appropriate HTTP status codes for every request. Status Code: || Code || Text || Description || || 200 || OK || Success || || 201 || Created || Resource has been created || || 404 || Not Found || Resource is not found || || 500 || Internal Server Error || Something is broken || If querying a collection and there is nothing in the collection, an empty array will be return. In JSON, it will be "[]". Whenever iPeer responses a result with successful status code 2xx, the response body will always one of the following: 1. An JSON object that requested by client 1. A collection (array) of JSON objects requested by client 1. An empty array "[]" If there is an error occurred on the iPeer server side, an corresponding error status code will be returned along with the error message in the response body encoded in JSON. {{{ {"code": 999, "message":"This is an error message"} }}} See details for [#ErrorCode error code]. = Resources = == Users == === Get List of Users === GET /v1/users ||Return
