Try removing the “generate JSON from object” from the Web\_API Body block.

Change your content type to application/json in the header

Format it as a proper Json object using list blocks with nested objects

No 🤣

Please try first. At least show that you’re putting forth the effort to implement my feedback.

Post a new block example where you try to interpret what I meant.

Additionally, if you need that key to be private, you should do this call from a backend server. While you can do it from the client doesn’t make it a best or even safe practice.

Just something to think about

In Postman, **you are sending in the x-www-form-urlencoded method in thunkable you are sending in JSON format**. So just like @jared mentioned, set your `Content-Type` header to `application/json`. If it still doesn’t work then try adding these headers:

```auto
-H 'Accept-Encoding:gzip,deflate,br'
-h 'Accept:*/*'

```

Try setting the `content-type` header to `x-www-form-urlencoded` again, Set `Accept` to `*/*`. If it still doesn’t work try removing some headers except `content-type`

nice!

yeah, i always forget that the x-www-form-urlencoded needs to go in the body as text

Sorry but glad you got it working! you should share a screenshot or screen recording of the api call in xano for others to see the solution! 🙂
