The GlobalWineScore API is designed as a RESTful API, providing several resources and methods depending on your usage plan. For further information please refer to our plans. # Authentication The API uses token-based authentication. In order to authenticate your requests, you need to include a specific header in each of your requests: ``` Authorization: Token {YOUR-API-TOKEN} ``` The word Token must be written. Your requests must also use the HTTPS protocol. If you don't have a token yet, you need to apply for one [here](https://www.globalwinescore.com/api/). Your personal token can be found under the My account > API section of the GlobalWineScore website # Format The API provides several rendering formats which you can control using the `Accept` header or `format` query parameter. - JSON (default): no header or `Accept: application/json` - XML: `Accept: application/xml` # Rate limiting For API requests, the rate limit allows for up to 10 requests per minute. # Error handling Whether a request succeeded is indicated by the HTTP status code. A 2xx status code indicates success, whereas a 4xx status code indicates failure. When a request fails, the response body is still JSON, but always contains a `detail` field with a description of the error, which you can inspect for debugging. For example, trying to access the API without proper authentication will return code 403 along with the message: `{"detail": "Authentication credentials were not provided."}` Found a bug ? send us an email at api@globalwinescore.com # Ordering At the moment, GlobalWineScores may be sorted by `date` and `score`. Use "-" to sort in descending order. # Continuous synchronization If you need to synchronize your database with our API, you can query our API using `?ordering=-date` to get the newest scores first, which means you won't have to crawl the whole catalog every time :-) # Quick search interface If you need to search our catalog (e.g. to align it with yours), we're providing you with a handy interface accessible here: https://api.globalwinescore.com/search/ You need to be logged in (email/password) to access this page, but other than that you can share it with anyone in your team and start searching right away ! # Resources The details about available endpoints can be found below. You can click on each endpoint to find information about their parameters.
