RESTful API

NASPA provides a RESTful API that is extended as needed to accommodate the needs of developers.

General information

All endpoints begin with the prefix https://www.scrabbleplayers.org/rest/v1

Data is returned as a JSON hash. If an error occurred, the hash will look like: {"error_code":"not-yet","error_text":"unimplemented"}, and can be recognized by the presence of the error_code key. The error_code key will not change once assigned; the error_text might be subject to occasional editing.

Authentication

Some endpoints require authentication. To access these in a POST request, specify a valid NASPA ID as username, and corresponding password as password.

Endpoints
