Authentication

The REST API requires user authentication to access or publish data. For instance, functionality on Raveal.com available to logged in users, such as checking profile visitor activity or retrieving profile data, are protected through the API. Currently, only HTTP Basic Authentication over HTTPS is supported. Basic Authentication sends user credentials in the header of the HTTP request.

In order to make an API call, the username and password of a Raveal account holder must be included with the request. Additionally, the request must be made to the secure HTTPS://raveal.net. Requests to http will be redirected.
