+ * Form requests currently only work for POST requests due to how PHP handles request data.
+ If you need to use these formats for PUT or DELETE requests you can work around this limitation by
+ using a POST request and providing a "_method" parameter with the value equal to
+ <code>PUT</code> or <code>DELETE</code>.
+ </em>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+ <em>
+ * Form requests can accept boolean (<code>true</code>/<code>false</code>) values via a <code>1</code> or <code>0</code>.
+ </em>
+</p>
+
<p>
Regardless of format chosen, ensure you set a <code>Content-Type</code> header on requests so that the system can correctly parse your request data.
The API is primarily designed to be interfaced using JSON, since responses are always in JSON format, hence examples in this documentation will be shown as JSON.
