When submitting data to Risk Inquiry Service (RIS), it is recommended to send as much data as possible. As part of the RIS post there are required fields and if not populated an error will be returned in the RIS response. Refer to SDK documentation for details on how to submit the data for both optional and required fields.
Note
The fields listed in the table below support a maximum value of characters or equivalent bytes, whichever threshold is met first. Some languages and UTF encoding use more than one byte per character.
