Each API returns the body with its data type specified in the Content-Type
HTTP header. Aside from the API Server's source API, all should
return a consistent type. The supported types are:
text/plaintext/htmlapplication/jsonapplication/zip
JSON responses may contain values in one or more of the following data types:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| String | A simple string value. |
| Number | A simple numeric value. |
| Date: | An string containing an ISO-8601 date in the UTC time zone, formatted as [YYYY]-[MM]-[DD]T[hh]:[mm]:[ss]Z. Example: "2011-04-20T23:47:22Z". |
| SemVer: | A string containing a semantic version string. |
| Array: | An array of one or more other values of any kind. |
| Object: | A list of key/value pairs, where the keys are strings and the values may be any other type. |
