Job Category Opcode JCC: Create or Update a Job Category

This opcode is used to update a Job Category entry in the specified show, if it exists, or create a new one if it does not. The Category item is identified using either the Description or the ExternalID. If the Category is found using the description or external ID, the Update A Job Category API is called (OpCode JCU). Otherwise, the Add A Job Category API is called (OpCode JCI).

Calling the API

The API is called via a secure HTTPS request. This HTTPS request may be a GET or POST operation. Each request must supply the authentication credentials assigned to the caller by Notified. Only requests with valid credentials will be processed. These credentials identify the caller and provide access only to a specific customer area.
