  client_secret:
    type: string
    description: |
      A unique string generated by the client, and used to identify the
      validation attempt. It must be a string consisting of the characters
      ``[0-9a-zA-Z.=_-]``. Its length must not exceed 255 characters and it
      must not be empty.
    example: "monkeys_are_GREAT"
  email:
    type: string
    description: The email address to validate.
    example: "alice@example.org"
  send_attempt:
    type: integer
    description: |-
      The server will only send an email if the ``send_attempt``
      is a number greater than the most recent one which it has seen,
      scoped to that ``email`` + ``client_secret`` pair. This is to
      avoid repeatedly sending the same email in the case of request
      retries between the POSTing user and the identity server.
      The client should increment this value if they desire a new
      email (e.g. a reminder) to be sent.
    example: 1
  next_link:
    type: string
    description: |-
      Optional. When the validation is completed, the identity
      server will redirect the user to this URL.
    example: "https://example.org/congratulations.html"
required: ["client_secret", "email", "send_attempt"]
