SAMPLE RESPONSE

When a Debt Sub-10k lead is posted to us, a JSON response will be returned containing useful information about whether the lead was accepted and any additional information we can provide. Below is an example of a successful response.

A response with sold = 1 (or "sold":1) ONLY means the lead was accepted by a buyer. Sold does not mean revenue was generated.

    "transactionid": 123456789,
    "leadid": 123456789,
    "payout": 0
}
