Getting Started with FSCO.io

Welcome to FSCO.io! This guide will walk you through the basics of getting started with our platform using and utilising our API.

Pre-requisites

Before diving in, ensure you have the following:

  • An FSCO.io account
  • A FSCO.io API key (available in your api key settings page
  • Basic understanding of RESTful APIs and how to communicate with them

Authentication

The first step to using the FSCO.io API is to authenticate with the API. Follow the authentication guide in order to get this set up.

Key Concepts

FSCO.io’s API is built around the following concepts

Synchronous Requests

Just like any other API you have dealth with before FSCO.io’s API is predominantly synchronous meaning that you will receive a response immediately after making a request. Some of your requests however will trigger asynchronous processes on our end, such as when you are writing to the blockchain or processing a document. In these cases you will receive a response immediately but the job will be processed in the background and you will receive a webhook notification when the job is complete.

Asynchronous Responses (Delivered via Webhooks)

As mentioned above, some of your requests will trigger asynchronous processes on our end. In these cases you will receive a response immediately but the job will be processed in the background and you will receive a webhook notification when the job is complete. You can find out more about FSCO.io’s webhooks here.
