Dates
Dates are returned in GET requests as an array e.g. [ 2007, 4, 11]. However, the API accepts them as strings in POST and PUT requests. If there are any dates in your POST or PUT requests, you need to provide the "locale" and "dateFormat". This can be any date pattern supported by Joda-Time. This capability can help you when saving data in your client application as you shouldn't need to do any date format conversion prior to issuing your POST or PUT request.
JSON examples:
{
"locale": "en_US",
"dateFormat": "dd MMMM yyyy",
"openingDate": "01 July 2007"
}
{
"locale": "en_US",
"dateFormat": "yyyy-MM-dd",
"openingDate": "2007-03-21"
}
Numbers
You must provide a "locale" when updating numbers. Numbers are not "Ids" or "Types" but are typically money amounts or percentages that relate to loans. In any case, the API will send back an error message if you forget.
JSON examples:
{
"locale": "en_US",
"principal": "240,400.88"
}
{
"locale": "fr_CH",
"principal": "240 400.88"
}
