Quick Start Guide

Not every API call will be this simple to exercise, but this example demonstrates how the
interactive API content is presented, and how RESTfulcalls can easily be made from this interface.
In some situations you will need to make other APIcalls first to get information necessary for
parameters or a request body.
Making API calls from an application
RESTful calls can be made from your custom application code. Preparation for making these calls
is similar to making them from an HTTP client. Authentication and authorization requirements as
explained in "Communication with CSA" on page 10 must be met.
You also need to set the http headers Content-Type:application/xml or application/json,
and accept:application/xml or accept:application/json as appropriate your the call you're
making.
