| Type name | Type description | Example |

| integer | 64-bit integer | 42 |

General approaches
The API also uses common approaches for the following:
| Concept | Solution |
|---|---|
| Response data | All responses are in JSON format, encoded with utf-8. A response can be an object, a list of objects, or a primitive value. |
| Authorization layer | All endpoints are protected with OAuth 2.0 Bearer token or with API key authorization |
| HTTP/HTTPS | Methods are used in accordance with HTTP (GET POST, PATCH and DELETE are the only methods used) and resources are identified using URIs. |
| Successful operation | HTTP 200 responses returning JSON objects |
| Invalid operation | HTTP 403 responses with JSON validation info |
| Unauthorized operation | HTTP 401 response |
| API rate exceeded | HTTP 429 response |
| Server error | HTTP 50x response with JSON details |
IMPORTANT: use HTTPS only connection
Despite Rebrandly API still accepts incoming HTTP requests, there are plans to discontinue the HTTP access totally. Make sure that your script leverage an HTTPS connection with API.
