Overview

This document describes the resources that make up FreeSO's public API. It is currently in beta and subject to change at any time.

The live server API, api.freeso.org can be accessed via HTTP or HTTPS. You should use HTTPS to access the live server API unless absolutely necessary. This documentation will include examples using the live server, but if you are building and testing new API features in a dev build, just replace api.freeso.org with whatever your API URL is (ex. localhost:9000/userapi/city/1/city.json).

Feel free to update missing/incorrect information by editing this page.

For more information about some of the data returned by the API, please see Public API Data Definitions
