Developers
To obtain access to private data for a supervisor, all requests must be sent with an active API token parameter.
Tokens are granted upon successful HTTP authentication, explained in the Introduction.
HTTP Authentication requires a username and password be sent with a request to http://api.homestaynetwork.org/authorise.
The Username (API Key) and password can only be obtained by applying for an API Developer account, and are activated for a single Supervisor organisation.
The key/password will be valid indefinitely and provide HTTP request access to private data for the designated supervisor.
To apply for an API key/password, please email api@homestaynetwork.org with details of your organisation and your intended use of the Homestay Network API.
Test API
Developers should use the Test API when developing an application before moving to the production server after the application has been fully tested.
The Test API is located at http://testapi.homestaynetwork.org
