The cucco API is organized around public and private endpoints. The API is predictable, has function-oriented URLs, and uses HTTP response codes to indicate API errors. It uses built-in HTTP features, like HTTP authentication and HTTP verbs, which are understood by off-the-shelf HTTP clients. It supports api key/secret authentication, allowing you to interact securely with our API from a client-side. JSON is returned by all API responses, including errors. All normalization endpoints support both GET and POST methods.
