Description

To make issues like https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop-sdk/issues/16 easier for developers, we should add some documentation of exactly what format is expected for the requests and responses (one can figure out from the examples / code but worth writing out explicitly). For example, these docs should describe the valid fields for a request (path_query, body, headers, method). This can go in the regular SecureDrop developer documentation, and be linked to in the README in this repository.
