What is the radius unit in the api request below? 0.1 degree/arcminutes or arcseconds?

"https://www.aavso.org/vsx/index.php?view=api.list&ra=196.421&dec=+18.018&radius=0.1&tomag=20&format=xml"

 

I found many information about this topic but could not find the answer on this one.

Is there a place in the AAVSO website that explain how to use api for vsx outside the forum? If not, that would be a good idea!
