The folder structure consists on three main sub-folders:

General API Information

All endpoints return a JSON object with the following format:

// If everything went ok
{
  data: [{...}],
  error: null
}

// In case an error occurs
{
  data: null,
  error: "Error message"
}

HTTP Return Codes

• HTTP 400 return code is used for malformed requests; the issue is on the sender's side.
• HTTP 401 return code is used when trying to access a protected endpoint without providing a JWT.
• HTTP 403 return code is used when trying to access a protected endpoint with an invalid JWT.
• HTTP 500 return code is used for internal errors; the issue is on the API side.
