Parameters

id (string) The id of the user. REQUIRED
secUid (string) The secondary id of the user. REQUIRED
cursor (integer) Parameter to manually handle pagination. Each response contains a `nextCursor` which can be used to retrieve the next page of results by sending it as the next `cursor`. If the `nextCursor` is not present in the response, it means that there are no more results to retrieve.
page_token (string) Secondary cursor to manage pagination (initially empty). The `page_token` for next request is returned by the previous response as the `nextPageToken`. This works in the same way as the `cursor` parameter.
token (string) Private token assigned to each client to access the APIs. REQUIRED
