The Spiffy Stores API is a RESTful web service.
Authentication
The API uses HTTP Basic Authentication to allow private applications to connect to a store using an API key generated by that store.
It also uses OAuth 2 protocol to authenticate 3rd-party applications which can connect to any store which grants the application permission to do so.
Calling the API
The Spiffy Stores API only supports JSON-encoded data as requests and responses. You will need to set both the Content-Type and Accept headers to application/json to identify the request and response format.
