Hi everyone,  
I am using the free OCR API( Here’s the link : [Barcode Scanner - Round About Way using OCR](https://community.thunkable.com/t/barcode-scanner-round-about-way-using-ocr/60962) ) when I am calling it, I am getting the error shown below :

On the first line of text is fine, that’s the image url. The other text is the error I get  
Please help me!

What is the full url you are using to generate those results?

Also, please provide a screenshot of the blocks you’re using to call the API. I’m curious how you’re passing the API an image file…

It seems like this is a continuation of this topic:

It’s confusing to start a new topic when there is useful information in the original topic. It’s better to add more details to that original topic.

Maybe @jared can merge these for us…?
