Upsidewireless REST API

There are two endpoints of Upsidewireless REST API, https://secureapi.upsidewireless.com and http://api.upsidewireless.com. If you care about more security than performance, you should use the secure endpoint. However, in this case you will need to install certificate for secure, authenticated communication. We recommend you select the secure option.

In order to use Upsidewireless REST API, you need have an account that has API permissions and get your API credential (token and signature) on your account page. Token is similar to username and signature is similar to password. They are needed in every single call to REST API.

There are two kinds of response of each API call, JSON or XML. You can either use HTTP header ("Accept") or a special HTTP parameter ("responsetype") to specify what kind of response you want. If you want using HTTP header, set either "application/json" or "application/xml" in Accept header. If you want using HTTP parameter, set either "JSON" or "XML" to responsetype parameter. If no response type specified, default response will always be in XML format. Use HTTP header is a highly recommended way to do so.
