API Fields

Formatting Restrictions

Unless otherwise noted, all of the field names listed are case sensitive, and the fields accept special characters such as @, #, and %.

The values of the item_#_ fields must not contain carets (^) or colons (:), because these characters are reserved for use by the ICS services. The values of all request fields must not contain newlines or carriage returns. However, they can contain embedded spaces and any other printable characters. All leading and trailing spaces are removed.
