Cards API (REST)

The Thredd Cards API is based on RESTful principles. The API accepts JSON-encoded request bodies and returns JSON-encoded responses. The API uses standard HTTP Response codes and verbs. All requests to the API must be made over HTTPS. The figure below describes an example of how customers can integrate the API to use Thredd systems.
