| **Body** | HTTP Message body (If exists) is used to carry the entity data associated with the request or response. |
|**api-name** | `api-name` is a kebab-case string used to create unique names or values of objects and parameters related to given API. For example, for Device Location Verification API, api-name is `location-verification`.|

| **Camel Case** | It is a kind of define the fields’ compound name or phrases without whitespaces among words. It uses a capital letter at the beginning of each word. There are two different uses:<li>Upper Camel Case: When the first letter of each word is capital.</li><li>Lower Camel Case: Same to that Upper one, but with the first word in lowercase.</li> |
| **Header** | HTTP Headers allow client and server send additional information joined to the request or response. A request header is divided by name (No case sensitive) followed by a colon and the header value (without line breaks). White spaces on the left hand from the value are ignored. |
| **HTTP** | Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is a communication protocol that allows the information transfer using files (XHTML, HTML…) in World Wide Web. |
