Output

Overview

Our data is delivered in one of the standard formats shown below.
The standard formats allow automatic format conversion by appending a format parameter to the request: ?format=json for example.
Note that errors are both reported within the response as well as in the HTTP header with the appropriate HTTP status codes. (200 is ok, 4xx is a client problem, 5xx a server problem.)
Default encoding is UTF-8.
Default timezones for all dates and times is UTC+0.
If you need help handling the output, don't hesitate to contact us for technical support.
