}Response Modifications
We have a few URL options you can provide to modify the API response. If you have any suggestions let us know.
&convert_numeric=VARIABLE
This option will turn an array into a numeric response instead of KEYs when provided with the variable to modify. It will only work on main level variables at this time for example in the call endpoint.hey.cafe/api/account_conversations?query=anthony&convert_numeric=conversations.
&error_boolean=true
Return all responses in system_api_error as a boolean true or false only. If there is an error message when this is active it will be provided in system_api_error_message.
&error_no_http=true
Do not modify the HTTP response code when any error response happens, keep the HTTP response code as 200.
Flags
Some requests have rules that must be followed, they are done on the API end and will be automatically validated and if failed you will get an error message.
Needs Session
On fail will return needs_session and if this falg is set the request will only respond if made by a valid user session or API session.
Needs Agecheck
On fail you will get the response of needs_agecheck and this happens if request is made from an IP in a country or region that has an age verification law. To use this the IP must not be based in an age check region or the user must do the age verification in settings first.
