I am starting work with the REST API. For now, I am just sending URLs to the platform using a chrome extension - not creating a real application yet.
Many of the services and other REST API calls require json input. Much of this isn't simple name/value pairs, but may be complex data shapes, data tables, file, or image input.
How do I create the properly-formatted .json file for the service to work, especially when dealing with encoded images?
Once I get the result of the service, how do I parse out the encoded images, like the one from the the getAvatar service into something useful?
Any help on this one? I have a similar requirement.

I posted too soon. The answer is to add the accept type into the header of the request.
Accept: application/json
