Validate the data by using the `documentId` and the `classifierId` or the `extractorId`. By calling this API, a validation task is created in Action Center.

Each action requires one POST and multiple GET calls (due to polling), meaning that if you want to validate a classification result, then you need to do a POST and multiple GET calls. Same applies for validating an extraction result.

When a POST call is initiated you need to add the `classificationResults` / `extractionResults` previously received when calling the classifier/extractor in the Request body of the POST request.

Validation data is soft deleted after 30 days.
