# Overview

The ParqEx API is organized around [REST](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_State_Transfer). Our API has predictable resource-oriented URLs, accepts [form-encoded](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POST_\(HTTP\)#Use_for_submitting_web_forms) request bodies, returns [JSON-encoded](http://www.json.org/) responses, and uses standard HTTP response codes, authentication, and verbs.

You can use the ParqEx API in test mode, which does not affect your live data, access controllers or interact with the banking networks. The API URL and key you use to [authenticate](https://docs.parqex.com/-MUyxAVrX9S4wky8UoX6/oauth/how-to-authorize-access) the request are tied to the live mode or test mode.

The ParqEx API differs for every account as we release new versions and tailor functionality.
