account PUT method

Create a sub-account.

http://api.textmarketer.co.uk/services/rest/account/sub

Creating a sub-account will attach the new account to the one used to access the API, which becomes the master account.

The ability to create accounts is disabled by default. To enable this, please contact Text Marketer.

PUT arguments

Under the REST methodology, data are sent in the request body.
