Public API Introduction

The MeetingLawyers User API is a public RESTful API. JSON is used to encode all data transfer in both directions, so that everything sent to and everything received from the API is encoded in JSON.

Authentication#

To work with this API, MeetingLawyers will provide you a set of credentials for authentication, which must be added in the header of all requests.

HeaderValue
Api-KeyIntegration identifier.
Secret-KeySecurity key for authenticated communications.

HTTP Error Codes#

All the API methods (GET, POST, and PUT) might fail with an error in the 400 range, which usually means that either the resource is not available (for example, trying to update a user that was previously deleted), or a mistake was made in the URL.

HTTP CodeDescription
400 Bad RequestMalformed request syntax. For example, Api-Key is missing.
401 Authentication failureFor example, Api-Key or Secret-Key are invalid.
403 Authorization failureThe provided credentials don't have permissions to perform the request.
404 Page not foundThe requested resource doesn't exist.
405 Method not allowedFor example, if you are performing a POST on a resource that only allows PUT.
