The body shouldn’t be curl.

You need to start with this:

 ![web-api-example](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/a/a/aa0910dbf7125aed30f3a2ac37bbaaaea10654a2.png)

Put your correct API key in there and don’t add the colon ‘ **:** ’ after Authorization, it will do that for you when you click the **Add** button

Then you can use these options in the create object component [https://pdfcrowd.com/doc/api/html-to-pdf/http/#reference](https://pdfcrowd.com/doc/api/html-to-pdf/http/#reference)  
like this:

I don’t have a valid API key but that should return a URL which you can put in an “Open Link” Control Component 😊👍
