Now coming to the APIs for this

the API relies on OAUTH 2.0 protocol for the authentication. A client id and client secret is assigned to each application created by a developer. Developer can seek authorization to access the data and obtain an access token. The token has an extended expiration time and can be used during multiple calls.
