Question from a developer:

Since the JSON being sent and received is just text, and text compresses well, is there a way to optimize my packets using zip?

Yes, we support gzip encoding for both requests and responses. To receive gzipped responses, add the following request header to your call:

Accept-Encoding: gzip

To use gzipped content in your requests, add the following request header and gzip the request data:

Content-Encoding: gzip

@Brendan

Any reason why content is not gzipped by default?

If you're using any of our SDKs, it is. If you're not, you would need to specify the encoding headers above (and gzip packets you send).
