#Example results

If you API call succeeds you'll get back the uuid* and the id (the results** field) for each of the new accounts:

{
  "uuid_results": [
   "efd7fe4e-c0a2-4b80-876e-1d06df393579",
   "3314d744-09a9-4264-a17f-402d3e4824e7",
   "639dbbbc-6cac-4054-83be-92e08ced155f"
 ],
  "results": [
    11393,
    11395,
    11397
  ],
  "stat": "ok"
}

Note that, if you're adding a large number of accounts, you might encounter errors with the way the are formatted within the body parameter. If you do run into problems with the bulkCreate endpoint, try formatting the attributes and attribute values as x-www-form-urlencoded parameters instead. For example:

curl -X POST \
  https://my-app.janraincapture.com/entity.bulkCreate \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' 
  -H 'Authorization: Basic dXQ0YmdycmE3dzI4MmpjZm15cGZxeDlwemhxaGpqMmI6dW5qemU5bndrZnV5NmpwdzgzOHFwYTdhZDNoZG55YTY=' \
  -d 'all_attributes=[{"givenName":"Jane","familyName":"Fielding","email":"jane.ortiz@fielding.com"},{"givenName":"Anderson","familyName":"Franks","email":"anderson.franks@example.com"},{"givenName":"Chiang","familyName":"Sun","email":"chiang.sun@example.com"}]&type_name=user'
