Use the Web Services Mobile API to build mobile clients that send as few requests to the server as possible. Keeping the request count low is what makes a mobile client fast.

Typical request sequence

A mobile client usually completes two steps:
  1. Request the parameters
  2. Upload files to the server

Authentication

Mobile clients connect to the server with basic authentication. When authentication succeeds, the server returns an authentication ticket in the AuthTicket header. Pass that ticket in the Bearer header of later requests instead of the user name and password.
