Promotion is configured with one unique {profile-key} such as email, user_name, or mobile_phone. At a minimum, the profile must have a {profile-value} for this key and {profile-value} must be unique within the promotion.
Additional key:value pairs may be submitted. The {apikey} may enforce rules on these pairs such as required vs optional, size limits and validation. Common examples of other keys are address, birthdate and optin. The name of a key must begin with a letter and consist of only lowercase ASCII letters, numbers and underscores.
Typically the {apikey} will be configured to require a CAPTCHA challenge/response in the request headers of an untrusted create profile request. A failed CAPTCHA is the same as a failed validation, resulting in a response of 400 Bad Request.
This URL is an entry point. It may be easily attacked because valid URLs are easy to guess. CAPTCHA protects against automated attacks.
