// Step 3: Interrogate response to see if it was successful. Return true or false depending on the result.
// Check that http communication was successful
if (response.getHttpCode() === 200) {
// Parse response body xml
var body = response.getBody();
var json = JSON.parse(body);
if (typeof(json.list.meta.count) != "undefined" && json.list.meta.count == 1) {
