LogList public API consists of multiple HTTP endpoints designed to produce various data. All parameters should be passed as query string parameters; the responses are always in JSON format.

CORS

If you're calling LogList API from the browser, you should follow the CORS specification. Usually it's handled by the browser automatically; the only thing you need is to set up the cors.allowedOrigins parameter in the server configuration file.

If you want your origin to be added to the main LogList configuration (so your browser agents could access our main loglist.xyz instance), please raise an issue.

API Types

This section explains some query parameter types that will be used in the API methods.

Quote Ordering

• time: reverse sorts the quotes by their publication time (i.e. newest first)
• rating: reverse sorts the quotes by their rating (i.e. top rated first)

Quote Filtering

• none: no filtering, show all
• year: show quotes posted from the start of the current UTC year
• month: show quotes posted from the start of the current UTC month
• week: show quotes posted from the start of the current UTC week, where "week" starts on Monday according to ISO 8601
• day: show quotes posted from the start of the current UTC day

API Methods
