Because of the variety of requirements, we offer different API products. The naming results to "/api/<product>/...". This allows us to provide different views of the same resource depending on your use case and permissions.
# Domain
## Domain
We as [PRM Software AG](https://prm-ag.de) offer you this API for our customers and act in that case as a service provider. For requesting the data of a trader, it is neccessary to get the permissions of each trader.

# Methods and resources
## Methods and resources
With each call you'll [interact with resources](https://restfulapi.net/http-methods/).
With each call you'll interact with resources. We follow typical best practices in HTTP method and URI namings.
- GET /api/core/Users -> Retrieve all customers
- GET /api/core/Users/1 -> Retrieve data of customer 1
- GET /api/core/Users/1/Permissions -> Retrieve all permissions of customer 1

- DELETE /api/core/Users/1 -> Delete customer 1
To apply non-CRUD-methods to a resource, we allways use HTTP-POST-methods.
- POST /api/core/Users/1/Ban -> Ban customer 1
- POST /api/core/Users/1/NotifyGtcViolance -> Notifies customer 1 for a violation of the terms and conditions
*Yeah. In an ideal world we would use those verbs as HTTP-methods as well, but not all clients and servers support that functionality. And it's not common currently, therefore most developers would be confused.*

*API keys*
### Static access tokens
Within TyrePro you can configurate API-Keys. They can have the scope of the tenant, a branch, a user or a customer (online user). The scope also determines the data provided by the endpoints.
Within our ERP-system TyrePro, the trader is able to configurate static access tokens. **Use static access tokens only, if you really trust the environment, where they are stored.**
# Errors
### Access tokens by authentication
# Rate Limiting
In our authentication.yaml, you'll find endpoints to authenticate with some users credentials.
# Pagination
### Passing the parameters
# Sorting
The recommended way of passing the access token is within the HTTP-Header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>'. For use cases of temporary sharing or simplified backend to backend calls, you could also pass the access token as query parameter '?AuthorizationToken=<token>'. Please be aware, that in a lot of libraries the request URI (including queryparameters) may get logged.

## Confirmation codes
some request require an explicit confirmation. There the server creates a confirmation code and a message and the client has to send the request again with the confirmation code. the code is temporary stored at server side.
## Events
subscribe to events and get a post request on your side
## Performance
response header notice
# Open-API documentation
Because of all those general options, we use a minimal documentation style of our Open-API-yaml-files. Example: Even when you will not find the pagination-parameters in the yaml-file, you can use them.
The usage of the minimal style will make it easier for you to see what exactly is part of the implementation and what is general. In a scenario of a full documentation the actual implementation details may be skipped in the complexity of general parameters.
# A typical request flow
1. Request entering
2. URI normalization
3. Ressource identification
4. Authorization check
5. Rate limit check
6. Request processing
7. Cache postprocessing
