About this example
The input was validated and run locally through the registered service. The output above is a display preview of the captured service result. File bytes are described instead of printed, and strings longer than 400 characters are truncated; the HTTP API also adds call_id, credits_charged and credits_remaining. Timestamps and generated identifiers will vary.
