This page gives you a general overview of base concepts we use in the Tesouro API.

​
OpenAPI

Tesouro API specification is available in the OpenAPI 3.1 format. You can use it to generate your own SDKs for integrating with the Tesouro API.

​
Authentication

All API requests to the Tesouro API platform must be made over HTTPS. Calls made over plain HTTP will fail. For more information on our authentication mechanism, see Authentication.

​

Tesouro services follow the standard CRUD resource models. This maps to the standard HTTP verbs:
