Hello, can anyone help me with composing a POST request using X Thunkable (not Classic Android) Web API component? - I want to send 3 data values (name, email, idea) to a GoogleSheet It would be of help also if it is done via the Google Apps Script, that one can create from within the GoogleSheet. Most of my attempts have failed, and all I get is Undefined. A complete sample aia would be great. thanks ---

It’s very Simple !! Create a Custom Html form for this and Upload the required details ( name , email and idea ) through it to the Spreadsheet. Do you want the AIA or blocks Screen shorts for this ?? ---

Hi @Nenye > [@Nenye](#): > > Please can you share a sample project for this. Of what ? If you are talking about **to send 3 data values (name, email, id) to a GoogleSheet** in thunkable x then here i have a solution for you !! * * * **First you have to create a google app script Url !!** Here is how you can create one. . . [http://community.thunkable.com/t/send-upload-data-to-google-sheets-using-script/68466?u=cttricks](http://community.thunkable.com/t/send-upload-data-to-google-sheets-using-script/68466) Note that the Step 3 for thunkable x is going to be different !! So after creating your script url you have to follow these steps ; * * * **Step 3 : Blocks Section** Here we don’t have a web component in thunkable X so we are using Web Viewer to post/ send data. Make sure in the properties section of the web viewer component !! Visibility is set to False. **Design Part ||** ![Screenshot%20(217)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/f/d/fd467c56b1cd2b7da61e3aeffcb43057bedd5b7d.png) **Blocks Part ||** ![Screenshot%20(216)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/0/8/08c655bbed8024769e463bcab692d555fd0f1225.png) * * * 🔗 **[Get Demo AIA](https://x.thunkable.com/copy/e5887a47b45fcde13acf6ae9060353d2)** // Ct tricks ---

how would one deal with basic HTTPS Authentication? don’t think i’ve seen this yet in the forums [wiki/Basic\_access\_Auth](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication) the provided sample is code is: curl [https://api.site.com/store](https://api.site.com/store) -u usrkey: -d “description=brown-fox” am trying [https://usrkey:pass@api.site.com/](https://usrkey:pass@api.site.com/) but the response is “missing authentication” status code 401. is there another way to pass the credentials? ---

this looks better { “url”: “[https://api.site.com/store](https://api.site.com/store)”, “raw\_url”: “[https://api.site.com/store](https://api.site.com/store)”, “method”: “get”, “auth”: { “user”: “usrkey”, “password”: “pse” } } you could try to put “auth”: { “user”: “usrkey”, “password”: “pse” } into the body of your api get/post does the api provide documentation? ---

How to pass Auth HTTP POST Request @jared you gave me an idea so i did some tests in 3 different apis i found online and this is what worked for me (my blocks should be self explanatory). ![auth](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/9/d/9d281d26f41177b8c1d5b771dc24db8241d7aad4.png) Notes: don’t mind the naming conventions I was prototyping and too lazy to keep changing names. Authorization for most apis i came accross was always Basic and you will need to convert your user:passwd to base64 encoding. some apis use apikey:(password is blank) refer to api docs example lets say your your username:admin and password:passowrd1. go to a base64 encoder enter admin:password1 of and encode it. so for this case the block Authorization would look as such Authorization “Basic YWRtaW46cGFzc3dvcmQx” sources: [HTTP Header](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Messages) [base64encoder](https://www.base64encode.org) ---
