Understanding Nexway REST APIs

Nexway Monetize is a RESTFull API platform.

What is REST​

As written in the REST API Tutorial:

REST is an acronym for REpresentational State Transfer. It is an architectural style for distributed hypermedia systems, and was first presented by Roy Fielding in 2000 in his famous dissertation.

All APIs use JSON format for requests and responses.

Supported HTTP verbs​

We have two kinds of APIs.:

  • Resource CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete; see Using HTTP Methods for RESTful Services for more details)

    • GET - Get a resource or a collection of resources
    • POST - Create a new resource
    • PUT - Update a resource
    • DELETE - Delete a resource

  • Action

    • POST - Launch an action

Security​

All connections are done through HTTPS (by default TLS 1.2;).

All APIs are secured with JWT Authentication except for the public endpoints.

Rate limits​

API calls are limited to 10 requests/second.
