As per my opinion there is not direct way to find who is accessing your web service but for make facility or probing request come to web service there is one way using MessageInspector you got place where Every request will come who will try
to access your web service and check and investigate request And using below code you can find ip address and much more detail
That depends like if you have to pass some kind of validation like licence key or hash with your web service request then probably they will identify that who is accessing it.
Other thing is sometimes they while list your ip address and then only you can consume their web service, in that case they will know who is accessing the web service.
