About Centroid API

API Methods

JSON Resonse format

JSON, or JavaScript Object Notation, is a lightweight data-interchange format. JSON is a text format that is completely language independent but uses conventions that are familiar to programmers of the C-family of languages, including C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Perl, Python, and many others.

To return an API response in JSON format, send a parameter "format" in the request with a value of "json".

Successful Responses

{
  query: {
    method: "getPopularSources"
    country: "nl"
    lang: "nl"
    currentRate: 58
  }
  ...
}

Failure Responses

When an error occured, the API will return an errorCode and an errorString. See here for more details.

{
  errorCode: 1,
  errorString: "Invalid API key"
}

Callback Function

To define a callback function name, add the parameter callback with your desired name as the value. For example:

The output will be:

call (
  {
    ...
  }
)
