Data Types {#types}

In general, we adhere to JSON standards for encoding both the input and output data types:

• String: "Double quotes and \" escaping"
• Array: [1,2,3,4,5]
  • All elements should be the same type
  • INCORRECT: [1,2,3,4,"five"]
  • CORRECT: ["1","2","3","4","five"]
• Object: {"key":"value","foo":"bar"}
• Boolean: true or false

Other types:

• Date: "2012-02-01"
• Date Range: ["2012-02-01", "2012-02-08"]
• Time: 13:49:28 GMT-0500"
• DateTime: "2012-02-01 13:49:28 GMT-0500"
• DateTime Range: ["2012-02-01 13:49:28 GMT-0500","2012-02-08 03:00:00 GMT-0500"]

CUID

A Core Unique Identifier (CUID) is a simple way to identify an object. It is an identifying number with a one or two letters type prefix that specifies the type of the object. For example, T48175 is a Ticket object with an ID of 48175.

You will be passing CUIDs back and forth to communicate with our API about the objects you are interested in. Below is a list of CUID object type prefixes:

• CC – Credit card
• D – Domain
• H – Hosting package
• I – Invoice
• L – Software License
• R – Reboot request
• S – Server
• T – Ticket
• TR – Ticket response
• V – VPS
