The Persona API uses GET, POST, PATCH, and DELETE requests to communicate and HTTP response codes to indicate status and errors. All responses come in standard JSON. The Persona API is served over HTTPS TLS v1.2+ to ensure data privacy; HTTP and HTTPS with TLS versions below 1.1 are not supported. Requests should typically include a Content-Type of application/json and the body must be valid JSON. Exceptions are for uploading files for some APIs, where you can use a Content-Type of multipart/form-data.
Encoding query string values
When passing query string arguments, please be sure to make values URL-safe, e.g. with
encodeURIComponentin JavaScript. For example, if passing a phone number with an area code,'%2B1...'should be passed instead of'+1...'.
