Help, it didn't work

• First check the REST verb you are using is a GET, for this function it cannot be a POST PUT or DELETE.
• Check you have pasted or typed in the correct api endpoint from here.
• Is the jwt token correct? i.e. do you have any spaces in the header? and make sure this is a header not a query param.
