Selecting ranges

For most GET operations that return arrays, the query parameters max_id and since_id can be used to specify the range of IDs to return. API methods that return collections of items can return a Link header containing URLs for the next and prev pages. See the Link header RFC for more information.

Pretty output

For most operations if the pretty parameter is set a formated output will be generated (useful for learning about the API or debuging purposes).

Errors

If the request you make doesn't go through, the plugin will usually respond with an Error.
