-- Both success and failed responses use 200 status code.

-- A success response contains this JSON in the response body:
-- {"status":"success","message":"Instance ID generated successfully","instance_id":"638EE5A76D3AA"}

-- A failed response will contain something like this:
-- {"status":"error","message":"Access token does not exist"}
