lib.rario.us API

Please note: this is very much in beta, so let me know if you have any problems or requests.

This is the API for http://lib.rario.us.

These should all be RESTful.

Some methods will require Authentication.

JSON

Data will return in JSON by default.

If you pass a “callback” param, the data will be passed to a function using the callback value for the function name.

Using cURL

You can easily use cURL in the command line to test out responses.
