Best Practices

Petro.ai's API is constantly evolving with new collections and endpoints for users to pull from. With that in mind, we try to keep the information as up-to-date as possible.

Postman

Debugging API requests in scripts is tedious and error prone. The Postman application reduces this friction by allowing constructing of adhoc requests. Download Postman here

Known issues

• Data type entwining (DB Normalization): Data type endpoints do not account for normalized data across multiple data types. This is especially relevant to Wells and Well Identifiers.
• Be aware that some data types are missing some HTTP methods—don’t assume availability and use the API documentation.

Warnings
