Our process is currently: 

A user can register on the website using a gravity form WP plugin approach. The user has to activate their account before they can start using the site. 

The user will also go into Zoho CRM as a Lead and will sit at the Approval stage so we can check them.

What I would like to do is query this user via the API whilst they are still awaiting Approval to pre-fill some elements of their user record on the website.

We appreciate a user may activate their web account prior to an account be approved, so my question is, is it possible to query a Lead whilst they are in approval as currently my query is not pulling back any data and I'm wondering if it is because whilst they are in approval stage their data cannot be accessed via the API

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
