Request Parameters

    access_tokenstringqueryRequired

    The access token of the connection.

Request Body

    response_modeenumOptional

    The response mode for our async endpoints. prefer_sync allows calling the API in a best-effort, synchronous fashion and wait for the response. If this takes too long we will instead return the asynchronous response. This is the default behavior. async makes the API respond with the asynchronous response. See Asynchronous Operations.

    One ofasync or prefer_sync.
