In the response you should see your Client id as well as your Company Name. Note that at the end of the response there is an api_call section that should indicate that the call was successful. The api_call section will be the last element of all calls to the API4ALL endpoints.

If you do not receive the expected response double check your bearer token. If you still need further help please contact your account manager at Infocredit.
