Content Negotiation

You can use standard content negotiation to request API results in specific formats. Sapi-NT supports - in order of priority - query parameter, path extension and Accept header based content negotiation.

By default, each endpoint supports the following content types:

Name	Media Type
html	text/html
json	application/json
csv	text/csv
ttl	text/turtle
rdf	application/rdf+xml

Some endpoints also support GeoJSON:

Name	Media Type
geojson	application/geo+json

If the Sapi-NT application supports Excel spreadsheet format (XLS):

Name	Media Type
xls	application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet

Query Parameter

Example

Path Extension

You can request one or more specific formats by supplying Accept header values. Each value should be the full media type of a content type described above.
