Our services follow RESTful standards fairly strictly. A successful api call is indicated by a http response code in the range: >= 200 and <= 299. Any other http response code is a failure. Our services respect common http headers if you need to customize the response to a specific encoding or format. If you run into a problem, be sure to look at the http response code and headers as they usually provide specific information about the problem.

When posting data upon transferring a prospect to us, please use the following URLs and formats:
