Hi.
I need a nice person that will help med with the setting of my API for Billy.
I have the docs here [Billy API v2 Documentation | Billy.dk](https://www.billy.dk/api/#authentication)
I am not sure where and how to enter my login and password. Can someone please help me out with the missing fields.
Am I missing out something, please let me know.

Check out the node js section of code examples for the Billy api.
You will find
```auto
headers: {
'X-Access-Token': this.apiToken,
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
```
This indicates the headers block should contain an object with 2 properties named X-Access-Token and Content-Type. Translating apis to Thunkable can be a challenge. Happy Thunking

Put quotes around the token as well.
Also, quickly skimming the documentation, I’m not sure if you can get the user info without an email and password. You might need to switch to a different command

@domhnallohanlon maybe you also can help with the blocks, please and thanks.
I have talked to their support and I just need the token. Is it JUST one place here “INSERT ACCESS TOKEN HERE” I need it or every place written $accesToken???
He send me this example below. The last example is how to make anew contact. But I really cant see the block in front of me for this example. Do I need all of the below code or what??
Thanks a lot for your help.
//define a reusable class for sending requests to the Billy’s Billing API
class BillyClient {
private $accessToken;
```
public function __construct($accessToken) {
$this->accessToken = $accessToken;
}
public function request($method, $url, $body = null) {
$headers = array("X-Access-Token: " . $this->accessToken);
$c = curl_init("https://api.billysbilling.com/v2" . $url);
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, $method);
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
if ($body) {
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($body));
$headers[] = "Content-Type: application/json");
}
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
$res = curl_exec($c);
$body = json_decode($res);
$info = curl_getinfo($c);
return (object)array(
'status' => $info['http_code'],
'body' => $body
);
}
```
}
## $client = new BillyClient(“INSERT ACCESS TOKEN HERE”);
After this I can make a new contact with the following code:
//Create a contact
$res = $client-\>request(“POST”, “/contacts”, array(
‘contact’ =\> array(
‘organizationId’ =\> $organizationId,
‘name’ =\> “Arnold”,
‘countryId’ =\> “DK”
)
));
if ($res-\>status !== 200) {
echo “Something went wrong:\n\n”;
print\_r($res-\>body);
exit;
}

Hope you still wanna help. I found out I DONT need the mail and login. I just need the token.

It looks like the header should be a JSON object with two properties X-Access-Token and Content-Type. You provided a string which is not formatted as JSON.

Using blocks like this can eliminate problems with correctly formatting JSON.
