# Responses

The default format is `XML`. To get a `JSON` response add a `.json` extension to the resource name or set the `Accept` header to `application/json`.

The root element of the XML response is `<ImpactRadiusResponse>`, which is common to all resources. Also, each resource representation has a self-referencing URI (i.e. the URI used to retrieve it). This is an aspect of the REST's Hypermedia References (see below).

### GET <a href="#get" id="get"></a>

***

The response formats are different for the `GET` versus the `POST`, `PUT`, and `DELETE` requests. `GET` requests contain a full representation of the resource requested. Each resource has different representations which are detailed in their respective sections below.

### PUT, POST, DELETE <a href="#put-post-delete" id="put-post-delete"></a>

***

Unlike the `GET` response, the response for `POST`, `PUT`, and `DELETE` will only contain a `Status` as well as a `URI` pointing to where more details for the entity referenced can be found. For resources that execute immediately, the `URI` will represent the corresponding `GET` request for that entity. Resources that require more intensive processing will queue the request and return a `QueuedURI` where details about the status of the request can be found.

#### Example Request

{% tabs %}

```bash
curl 'https://api.impact.com/Agencies/<AccountSID>/Advertisers' \
	-H 'Accept: application/json'

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

#### Example Response

{% tab title="JSON" %}

```json

}

// Queued Response

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

| <p><br><em>OK</em></p> | Everything worked as expected and the request was completed immediately.                            |
