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

---

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

---

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

---

cURL

curl 'https://api.impact.com/Advertiser/<AccountSID>/Actions' \
	-H 'Accept: application/json'
