Ping
Health-check endpoint to verify API credentials are working correctly.
The Ping endpoint is a lightweight health check that validates your API credentials without performing any data operations. Use it to verify that your token/key pair is valid, your license is active, and HTTPS connectivity is working.
Ping has a lower minimum license requirement of BusinessPlus (vs. Enterprise for most other endpoints), making it available to a wider range of accounts.
