   ✔  Deployed:
    ConfigStack
    # Use the URL shown below
    apiEndpoint: https://xxxxxxx.execute-api.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/prod/ 

4. Paste the curl request into your terminal and hit Enter:

   curl -L -X GET 'https://xxxxxxx.execute-api.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/prod/borrowingCapacity?borrowerEmail=rami@rolo.polo&grossAnnualIncome=50000&employmentStatus=SELF_EMPLOYED' \
