Uses a verification code to set a time field to the current time. This is often used for items like email verification. For example, if the emailVerified attribute has a value that means that the user has verified their email address. If the attribute value is NULL then the user has not verified their email address.

Click Import, and the Curl command will be converted to a format that can be run from within Postman. All you need to do now is configure the command to work with your Janrain implementation.
How to Create an Authentication String
To create an authentication string, combine your API client ID, a colon (:), and your client secret into a single value. For example, if your client ID is abcdefg and your client secret is hijklmnop, that value would look like this:
abcdefg:hijklmnop
Next, take the string and base64 encode it. For example, on a Mac, you can base encode the string using this command:
echo -n "abcdefg:hijklmnop" | base64
If you’re running Microsoft Windows, you can encode the string by using a Windows PowerShell command similar to this:
The resulting value (e.g., YWJjZGVmZzpoaWprbG1ub3A=) should be used in your authentication header.
If you are making API calls using Postman, select Basic Auth as your identification type, then use the client ID as the username and the client secret as the password.
Before you actually try your authentication string, make sure that your API client has the all the permissions (for example, the right to read user profile information) needed to complete the API call.
