POST Request

You may use either JSON or XML formats in your request. You indicate this by setting the ContentType HTTP header as "application/json" or "application/xml". If no ContentType is specified, XML format is assumed.

The format query string parameter controls the desired response format.  Specify either XML or JSON.

/api/v2/company?format=xml/json
