Answer

Structure's answer:

{
    "status" : "OK" || "ERROR",
    "results" : [],
    "error" : "" // The field contains an error message string.
}

Authentification and authorization

Basic HTTP authentication supported. All requests to the API must contain correct header Authorization when the authentification is on.

If there is no header or not correct data - server's answer will contain HTTP status 401 Unauthorized and message:

< {"status":"ERROR","results":"","error":"401 Unauthorized request"}

For successful authentification is sufficient to add in every request header to the API:

Authorization: Basic <base64encode("login":"password")>
