# API Description

***

This session describes endpoints of the PAD API. The endpoints may appear in subsessions more than once as they are titled by a role of PAD. A description of an endpoint consists of its method, URI, request parameters and response statuses, with examples.

## Base URL and version

Base URL: <https://api.pad.tech>

The only version available now is `v0`. To access the URI `/trustees`, for example, the URL will be <https://api.pad.tech/v0/trustees>.

## Types

"Primitive" types are written in lowercase. Examples:

* integer
* number
* string
* object (JSON object)
* array
* dict (dictionary/key-value pair where values have the same type)
* enum

Arrays are written in the form array\<T> which indicates it is an array where items are all in type T.

Dictionaries are written in the form dict\<KeyT, ValueT> which indicates it is an object where the keys are in type KeyT and the values are in type ValueT.

Stringified objects are written like string\<T>. A string of this type should be able to parse as an object of type T.

Defined types are capitalised. Examples:

* Encryption
* Token
* TrusteeId
* DataRequest
