Connect REST API Request Bodies

To perform a POST, PATCH, or PUT request, pass query parameters or create a request body formatted in either XML or JSON. This chapter lists the request bodies. The query parameters are listed with each resource.

We’re making major improvements to the Connect REST API reference content in July 2026. We’re replacing the separate pages for resources, request bodies, and response bodies with a unified, single-page layout that expands to show details as you need them. Existing resource pages will automatically redirect to the correct resource in the new interface. Request and response body pages will redirect to the main API reference page because this information appears in context with its associated resources. To preview the new interface, see the Data 360 Connect REST API.

Important

To create a JSON request body, specify the properties of the request body in JSON format.

This is an example of a Comment request body.
1{
2	"body" : "Let's look for a new solution."
3}

If a request body is top-level, it has a root XML tag listed. To create an XML request body, nest the properties as XML tags inside the root XML tag.

This is the same Connect request body in XML format:
1<comment>
2	<body>Let's look for a new solution.</body>
3</comment>
