For a `networktype` of value \"lithium\" or \"crm\" you must also pass the `networkinstance`, because these types of networks can have multiple instances as opposed to Twitter, or Facebook that have only a single, default network.
The Author API supports \"twitter\", \"instagram\", \"facebook\", \"lithium\", and \"crm\" only as values for `networktype`.",

If you wanted to PUT or GET author data by passing in a CRM author ID, for example, you would need to specify which CRM instance the CRM author ID is associated with.
Example: \"sfdc_1\"
The value to pass for `networkinstance` is either the instance of your Lithium community (example: https://my_community_instance.com) or the key you defined for the CRM author integration for this CRM (example: \"sfdc_1\").",
