The Digitail API is organized around [REST](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_State_Transfer). Our API has predictable resource-oriented URLs, accepts [form-encoded](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POST_\(HTTP\)#Use_for_submitting_web_forms) request bodies, returns [JSON-encoded](http://www.json.org/) responses, and uses standard HTTP response codes, authentication, and verbs.

You can request access to the Digitail API by submitting this [page](https://digitail.com/api-access/). We'll try to answer as soon as possible as we're sifting through all requests. Make sure to explain your usecase thoroughly so we can speed up the process.

You can use the Digitail API in test mode, which doesn’t affect your live data. The server you use to make the request determines whether the request is live mode or test mode.

The Digitail API doesn’t support bulk updates. You can work on only one object per request.
