Hi guys, we've been using the script below and it has been working for a month but it suddenly stopped working yesterday.


2 things to note:

1. bulk import was done prior to yesterday (created +100K companies) via the Freshdesk site.

2. API request is still working via Postman using the same credentials.


Error encountered:

1. using breakpoints we saw value of response = NULL

2. [ctrl+F5] shows 400 Bad Request error:

Any ideas would be appreciated. TIA!
