Onionoo clients send HTTP GET requests to the Onionoo server which

+Onionoo clients and their developers should follow a few rules:
+</p>
+
+<h4>Compression</h4>
+<p>
+Clients should include an <strong>"Accept-Encoding:
+gzip"</strong> header in their requests and handle gzip-compressed
+responses.
Only requests starting at a certain size will be compressed by the
-server.</li>
-<li><b>Caching:</b> Clients should make use of the <i>"Last-Modified"</i>
+server.
+</p>
+
+<h4>Caching</h4>
+<p>Clients should make use of the <strong>"Last-Modified"</strong>
header of responses and include that timestamp in a
-<i>"If-Modified-Since"</i> header of subsequent requests.</li>
-<li><b>Response codes:</b> Clients should handle response codes by
+<strong>"If-Modified-Since"</strong> header of subsequent requests.
+</p>
+
+<h4>Response codes</h4>
+<p>
+Clients should handle response codes by
distinguishing between client and server errors, and if there's a problem,
informing their users about the kind of problem.
The following response codes are used:
-<ul>
-<li><b>200 OK:</b> The request was processed successfully.</li>
-<li><b>304 Not Modified:</b> Server data has not changed since the
-<i>"If-Modified-Since"</i> header included in the request.</li>
-<li><b>400 Bad Request:</b> The request could not be processed either

+<h4>Protocol changes</h4>
+<p>
+There are plenty of reasons why we may have
to change the protocol described here.
Clients should be able to handle all valid JSON responses, ignoring
unknown fields and not breaking horribly in case of missing fields.
Protocol changes will be announced here by writing deprecated API parts in
-<b><font color="red">red</font></b> and new parts in
-<b><font color="blue">blue</font></b>.
+<strong><font color="red">red</font></strong> and new parts in
+<strong><font color="blue">blue</font></strong>.
Deprecated parts will be removed one month after their announcement.
Let us <a href="mailto:karsten.loesing@xxxxxxx";>know</a> that you're
developing a client, and we're going to inform you of upcoming protocol
changes.

Keys refer to the last known bandwidth history of a relay, not to the time

A bandwidth history object is only contained if the time period it covers
is not already contained in another bandwidth history object with shorter
time period and higher data resolution.
