Response Type:

Name Type Description
bold = required
value info[] A array of supported import flags.
value[].option string The name of the import flag that is supported by the deployment platform.
value[].description localizable_message Localizable description of the import flag.
value[].description.id string Unique identifier of the localizable string or message template.

This identifier is typically used to retrieve a locale-specific string or message template from a message catalog.
value[].description.default_message string The value of this localizable string or message template in the en_US (English) locale. If vapi.std.localizable_message.id refers to a message template, the default message will contain the substituted arguments.

It could also be used as a fallback if a client is unable to access the appropriate message catalog.
value[].description.args string[] Arguments to be substituted into a message template.
