At the lowest level, Minus exposes its API with a REST, http-accessible, API. We have designed our API to allow you to easily create folders and upload files programmatically.
Please subscribe to our http://blog.minus.com for any updates regarding our API and contact us if you have any questions.
Through the API the developers can read/edit/create/delete the main 3 objects of the Minus System.
Minus API can return object and list as a response.
A Standard list response looks like this:
{
"results": [{...},...],
"page": 2,
"next": null,
"per_page": 50,
"total": 3,
"pages": 2,
"previous": "/api/v2/folders/1FxDi1RA/files?page=1"
}
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| results | object list | Contains the list of objects. |
| page | integer | Actual page of list |
| next | string | Link to next page |
| per_page | integer | Maximum number of items on a page |
| total | integer | Total number of items |
| pages | integer | Total number of pages |
| previous | string | Link to previous page |

To use the Minus API the developers have to register their applications. Every application gets an ID and a secret which allows the Minus to identify and authenticate the requests from the applications.
We have a short overview about oAuth 2.0, which is the only way of the authentication and authorization.
The tutorial section shows practical examples to implement oAuth 2.0 on the client side.
Note
During the testing period developers should request an API key via email.
