Decrypting and decoding API parameters

There are fields present across KeyBank APIs, in both request and response objects, that have predefined values. Some of these values are specific to KeyBank and others are industry-standard values. The purpose of this page is to catalog as many of these data values as possible and provide definitions for their usage within our APIs.

Each data value definition contains a brief description, the specific fields and APIs where the data value can be found, and a tabular listing of possible values and what these values mean.
