API REST

Trawlingweb.com is an API REST, so even though data is destinated to be consumed as data stream, its necessary to call the API continuosly in order to receive data batches.

URL Structure

Url query has three parts:

  • Authentication
  • HTTP GET parameter string for the authentication, temporal period.
  • String request filter and__filters:value__ that specifies the needed data.)

Authetication

Authentication is confirmed by an unique access token aproved in the URL call API. Client can find his unique access token via control panel.
