Question 3

API fields

Answer 3

Read the documentations to find what kind of JSON needs to be arranged and what fields need to be set.

and then put them in a flat format JSON.

For example –

var data = {
email_address: asc@xyz.com,
fname: asc,
lname: jkl,
phn_no: { first: +454 232 676, second: +344 678 953 }
birthday: 3/6/78
}
Pay attention to the values of each field. They may be object or array or text fields.
