REST API
The REST API is a Hypermedia API built on top of HTTP. All objects in Sitecore Content Hub are modeled as resources that represent the state of objects at the time of a request. Standard HTTP requests and responses are used to query and manipulate object states and standard HTTP headers are used to augment the request and response. Furthermore, to provide consistent performance across all services, backend services apply throttling mechanisms.
The REST architectural pattern models the state of the system as resources. Each resource is identified by a unique URL. By performing HTTP requests, the representation of the resource can be transferred and manipulated. What makes the REST API different is that it is also a Hypermedia API. In essence, hyperlinks are used to navigate between resources instead requiring knowledge of how the URLs to specific resources are constructed. In fact, URLs specified in this REST API documentation (other than the service endpoint) are for documentation purposes only and should not be used by the client directly. Instead, the client should adopt the navigational model and discover the URLs by navigating between the resources.
All data is sent and received as JSON.
API access is over HTTPS and accessed from

Guidelines for throttling are available in the Best practices section of the documentation. The REST API does not handle throttling internally and developers need to handle it in their code. In the best practices, you can also find details on when you should use Scripts and when you should use Microsoft Azure functionality (in particular, see How to choose the integration tool).
