# Getting Started
## SocketLabs’s Complex Sender product was built from the ground up with the indirect sender use case in mind.
API Features:
- Integration is quick, lightweight, and can be done in one engineering sprint.
- Once initial integration steps are taken, the rest of the platform is optionally codeless.
- SocketLabs was built API first: tasks you can do in the application can also be done via API.
API Conventions:
- The SocketLabs API follows REStful conventions
- Trailing slashes are ignored: /transmissions is equivalent to /transmissions/.
- URL paths, URL query parameter names, and JSON field names are case insensitive.
- URL paths use lower case, with dashes separating words.
- Query parameters and JSON fields use camel casing for JSON field names.
- The HTTP status indicates whether an operation failed or succeeded, with extra information included in the HTTP response body.
- All APIs return standard HTTP error code formats.
- Unexpected query parameters and request body fields are ignored.
