Media Types

The primary media type served by the ShootProof API is:

application/vnd.shootproof+json

You may indicate acceptance of this media type by providing an Accept header in all requests, unless specifically requesting a different media type indicated by a link relationship.

Attention

In the future, we may choose to indicate different representations (or versions) of our API resources through the use of content-negotiation varying on media types. For this reason, it is a good practice to use the Accept header in all requests to our API.

When making POST, PUT, and PATCH requests, this media type is required in the Content-Type header. If not provided, we will respond with a 415 Unsupported Media Type error response.
