# API

Pliro's API provides programmatic access to your publication's data in Pliro. The API accepts [form-encoded](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL_encoding#The_application/x-www-form-urlencoded_type) request bodies, returns [JSON-encoded](https://www.json.org) responses, and uses standard HTTP status codes, authentication, and verbs.

The API is served over [HTTPS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTPS) on `api.pliro.co`. We also provide a test version of the API on `api.plirotest.com` (operating in our isolated [test environment](/test-environment.md)) that you can use when building and testing out your integrations.
