## Base URLs

The Live and Test APIs operate in two fully separate environments:

* **Live:** `https://api.monime.io` with (Live token)
* **Test:** `https://api.monime.io` with (Test token)

Read [Personal Access Tokens](/dashboard-guide/personal-access-tokens) on how to create Live and Test tokens.

## Standards & Conventions

### RESTful Design

The API follows standard HTTP methods:

* `GET` — fetch a single object or list of objects
* `POST` — create a new object or trigger an action
* `PATCH` — make partial updates to an object (send only what you want to change)
* `DELETE` — remove an object

### JSON by Default

Unless stated otherwise, requests and responses use **JSON**.

* Fields are returned with stable, predictable keys
* Moneys are given in **minor currency units** (e.g., cents for SLE and USD)
* Timestamps are in **UTC** using **RFC 3339** format, e.g. `2025-08-24T06:00:00Z`

### Usable Status Codes

The API uses standard HTTP status codes:

* `200` — success, i.e., server handled the request.
* `4xx` — client errors such as invalid input, or authentication issues.
* `5xx` — internal server errors, safe to retry with backoff
