**1. Applications API** - a set of powerful and flexible APIs that allows you to create and manage IoT resources like dashboards, devices, things, and variables, along with the retrieval and handling of historical data coming from your IoT Devices. The core of those APIs 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 those APIs, both directly calling our HTTP endpoints or using our clients that wrap those calls into easy-to-use abstractions like objects and functions. We have Applications API clients available in `javascript`, `golang`, and `python`.
