Chute Developers

The Chute API makes use of a variety of JSON formats. These formats are both consumed and returned by the API. Here are some important notes regarding our data:

JSON-only

We currently support only JSON for the return data.

Data Container

Whenever there are multiple records returned, Chute will return a data array.
