Warning: Federated Tables is in BETA stage and the API might change or have limited support.
General Concepts
The following concepts are the same for every endpoint in the API except when it is noted explicitly.
Auth
Manipulating data on a CARTO account requires prior authentication using a unique identifier as a password. For the federated tables API, a special identifier known as the API Key is used as a proof of authentication for each user account to authorize access to its data.
To execute an authorized request, api_key=YOURAPIKEY should be added to the request URL. This parameter can be also passed as a POST parameter. We strongly advise using HTTPS when you are performing requests that include your api_key.
Errors
Errors are reported using standard HTTP codes.
