Getting Started
To get started with the MLA Statistics API, developers can utilise the below documentation where code samples and an interactive API explorer can help aid development. The API is RESTful, making it easy to integrate into a wide range of applications and programming languages.
Responses are paginated with a maximum of 100 records per request, simply divide the field "total number rows" by 100 to determine the number of pages to be iterated through for the complete set of records based on the parameters passed.
Although the API is not restricted by authentication, abuse of the service will result in throttling or blacklisting.
