Using Keys in Universal API Transactions |
Before Release 5.0, the keys used in Universal Record elements could be changed after they were assigned. As of Release 5.0 (May 21, 2013), Universal API has added the concept of durable keys, which keeps the keys from changing when Universal Records are retrieved and modified. |
Additionally, the samples provide further insight into requests and responses:
- Sample XML transactions are provided for various Universal API functions.
- The Universal API Demo Site allows you to see and work with an application that is built over Universal API.
