How it works

The value set for a customer's status: every ACTIVE, non-system customer status configured on the account, with its integer ID, name and Type flags. Inactive statuses and system statuses are left out - unlike REST GET /v1/customerstatus, which also returns inactive ones.

Parameters

Each parameter has one label: Required, Conditional (required depending on other values) or Optional. Send them in the order shown.

tokenSecurityToken

Required

The token from GetToken: Initials, Expires and Hash, sent back unchanged.

Errors

All errors come back with HTTP 200: check ResponseState, ErrorCode and Messages. The errors every operation can return (expired or invalid token, API not enabled, HTTPS required, general errors) are listed once in Responses and errors.

This operation has no errors of its own beyond the shared ones.
