Calling An API Method

General Information

All API method calls are wrapped within the <data> element. Each method call is contained within its own <methodCall> element. A single methodCall element identifies an individual action. Multiple methodCalls may be included within a single POST.

The methodCall element always contains the <methodName> element which, as its name implies, indicates the name of the method being called. Following the methodName element are any method-specific elements that contain the method's arguments. An example of a complete method call is as follows:
