HTTP Version

In order to successfully call Motive APIs, the HTTP protocol version of your application or tool (that calls the APIs) must be HTTP/1.1 or higher.

Why is this required?

HTTP/1.1 or higher allows us to ensure:

• Enhanced Performance: HTTP/1.1 introduced features like persistent connections, chunked transfer encoding, and improved caching mechanisms, which significantly enhance the efficiency of data transfer.
• Modern Capabilities: Advanced HTTP features like keep-alive connections and improved support for encrypted data transmission are supported only in HTTP/1.1+.
• Security and Compatibility: Many modern APIs leverage HTTP/1.1 or HTTP/2 for better encryption, faster data transfer, and compatibility with current industry standards.

NOTE

In case you are not on the HTTP/1.1, and try to call Motive APIs, then you will see the response as 426 Upgrade Required.
