# Guides
# Retrieve client information
To retrieve client information you need to use the GetClientInformation (opens new window) method.
# Get Departments
To get department information you need to use the GetDepartmentList (opens new window) method.
PLEASE NOTE
The GetDepartmenList will list all departments that are registered on a client, regardless of whether they are marked as "active" or not in the settings. This is a known issue, but will not be corrected in the current version of the SOAP API.
