Overview: Requests and responses
API requests and responses connect HTTP operations with typed payloads and bounded observations of result sets.
HTTP describes the exchange, JSON represents its data, and pagination limits how much of a query result arrives at once. Each layer has its own meaning and failure conditions. The pages here keep them distinct so a parsed response is interpreted as the intended operation's result.
HTTP API requests
An HTTP API request combines a method, target, headers and optional content, while the response status and operation contract define its result.JSON payloads
JSON represents typed values in a text interchange format, while a schema defines field meanings, units and treatment of missing or null data.API pagination
Pagination returns bounded portions of a result set, but offsets refer to the list as observed and can shift when its contents change.
