Request Parameters
access_token
stringqueryRequiredThe access token of the connection.
Request Body
response_mode
enumOptionalThe 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.
