# Introduction

The Malomo API is organized around [REST](https://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) and [JSON-encoded](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON) request bodies, returns [JSON-encoded](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON) responses, and uses standard HTTP response codes, authentication and verbs.
