Our API uses REST interface. In general, it means that API methods are called over the internet, using standard HTTP methods like GET and POST to api.skybiometry.com/fc/. This means that there are no restriction to choosing programming language for development, as long as it supports HTTP communication. We have also prepared some client-side communication implementations for widely spread language, they can be found here.
Depending on the HTTP request parameters, server can generate response in either JSON or XML. We also support JSONP callbacks to simplify application development in JavaScript and callbacks for asynchronous invoking of lengthy operations (more information below).
Common method invocation call looks like this:
http://api.skybiometry.com/fc/{API method}.{response format}?api_key=…&api_secret=…&{other parameters}
In cases where you want to have more security for calling our API, it is also available through HTTPS. Change http to https in method invocation call to access API through HTTPS.
