# Standards and Conventions

Each request must contain the header `Accept: application/json`.\
You should also send an `Accept-Encoding: deflate, gzip` header to receive data fast and efficiently (will be supported in the future).<br>

All endpoints return data in JSON format with the results of your query under `data` if the call is successful.

## Endpoint Response Payload Format

All endpoints return data in JSON format with the results of your query under data if the call is successful.

A Status object is always included for both successful calls and failures when possible.\
The Status object always includes the current time on the server when the call was executed as a timestamp.

<br>

```json
{
    "data" : {
    ...
    },
    "status": {
        "timestamp": "1688555980233",
        "errorCode": 400,
        "errorMessage": "Invalid value for \"id\"",
   }
}

```
