productIdBase64UrlEncoded

boolean

Optional. If true, the {productInput} in the name field of the request will be interpreted as unpadded base64url-encoded and decoded during request processing to match the decoded value. Default value is false. Use this if your {productInput} contains special characters, such as forward slash / or other characters that are unpadded base64url-encoded (as per RFC 7515: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7515#section-2).

Note that future versions of the API will only accept unpadded base64url-encoded product ids, so we strongly recommend proactively setting this to true and encoding the product ids.
