**Result**

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="200" %}

```json
{
    "Result": 200,
    "Response": "7b20225f506572666f726d616e636522203a2022487970657220436f646520457865637574696f6e2054696d653a20313130307573222c200a0a225f436f6e736f6c655f4f757470757422203a202235343635373337343230373336643631373237343230363336663665373437323631363337343061227d",

Remember to convert the response from Hex to String if you want to get the result in plain text.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="117" %}
Wrong function call. Remember to pass the request in Hex format as shown in the body section or to verify that the smart contract address is the right one.
