# Submitting to the API

All API requests to the Zaui.io platform must be sent using an HTTPS POST and must be submitted using the following URL: 

```bash
https://api.zaui.io/v1/
```

All API access is over HTTPS and accessed from the <https://api.zaui.io/v1/> domain.

```bash
$ curl -ki https://api.zaui.io/v1/

Each response consists of an object with the following properties:&#x20;

* **HTTP response status code:** The status code of the HTTP response. This does match the header value of the response, unless `suppress_response_codes=true` was sent. For a list of valid response codes, see the appendix at the close of this document.
* **XML data payload:** The result data will always return `XML`&#x20;

Note: See [Appendix A](https://docs.zaui.com/io/appendixes/http-status-codes) for a list of all Zaui IO HTTP Response Codes
