Service calls and return values

Service calls send the information about the action to perform in the Alfabet FastLane database or the information to send back to the URL of the Alfabet FastLane RESTful API. The endpoints that are available to access and to change data are predefined and require a specific set of parameters to be sent to the Alfabet FastLane RESTful API.
