Hello, I have this one part that has been keeping me up. I am trying to post using the Web API component and I keep missing the body. My blocks are as below. Any help will go a long way to unstuck me. I need to understand why It can’t see the body. What am I doing wrong? ![Screenshot 2020-08-12 at 18.29.46](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/2/0/205b0e66913130d228104c1aa32aed04cf70c92d.png) ---

Does this exact setting configuration work in postman? ---

Try getting your config set here. > **[Postwoman is now Hoppscotch](https://postwoman.io/)** > > Update: 16th August 2020. Postwoman is now Hoppscotch. Make sure it works ---

Sorry I can’t illustrate that for you What I meant was using a service like postman or [PostWoman](https://postwoman.io/) to get your settings correct. These will also allow you to figure out if/what settings you need for your header ---

I am not sure how to use Postman/Postwoman, never used it before. I know I am doing something wrong all I need is someone to point it out. ---
