Property name Value Description Notes
Required Properties
photoData bytes The user photo's upload data in web-safe Base64 format in bytes. This means:
  • The slash (/) character is replaced with the underscore (_) character.
  • The plus sign (+) character is replaced with the hyphen (-) character.
  • The equals sign (=) character is replaced with the asterisk (*).
  • For padding, the period (.) character is used instead of the RFC-4648 baseURL definition which uses the equals sign (=) for padding. This is done to simplify URL-parsing.
  • Whatever the size of the photo being uploaded, the API downsizes it to 96x96 pixels.
