Response Field Explanations

Use browser developer tools to extract cookies. Open DevTools → Application → Cookies, and copy the required cookie values.
The returned task ID can be used with the Check Sync Status endpoint to monitor synchronization progress.
Ensure cookies are fresh and valid. Expired or invalid cookies will result in synchronization failure.
Use List Account Types endpoint first to discover which cookies are required for each platform.
