JSON is the preferred data exchange format, because it is lightweight and, in most cases, faster to process and utilizes less bandwidth. There are many available open-source JSON libraries available. See json.org for details.

Successful Submission
A successful POST submission will create BounceStatus entries for all customers with the EmailAddress provided.

"EmailAddress":"test@test.com",
"OmedaCustomerIds":[
1100000000,
1100000001
],
"Success":"Email Address has been marked as Invalid for customers"
}
Failed Submission
A failed POST submission may be due to several factors:
Status | Description |
|---|---|
400 Bad Request | Typically, this error occurs when the request does not follow the specifications. |
403 Forbidden | Typically, this error occurs when the credentials are erroneous. Potentially, an incorrect x-omeda-appid. |
404 Not Found | Typically, this error occurs with a malformed URL or the resource that is searched for is not found. |
405 Method Not Allowed | Typically, this error occurs when the resource accessed is not allowed by the HTTP Method utilized. Make sure you employ the correct HTTP Method (POST) for this request. |
This is not an exhaustive list of errors, but common ones. If an error occurs repeatedly, please contact your Omeda representative.
