JSON
In the JSON format every response has two elements the success flag that lets you know if your requests was successful or not. If it is successful, there will be also a data element that will contain the important piece of information that you are trying to get. In case there is an error you will get an error element instead of data. You can read more on errors in our standard error reference page. Bellow is an example of JSON response.

In the XML data format you will either get an object information or a list with lots of elements from the same time. In the case of an error there will be an error tag as well. You can find more about error messages on our standard error reference page. We do not put any attributes in the XML tags which should make parsing the XML response easier for you.
