[Solved] Chart API help needed

[jared]

I am using the quickchart.io qr generator so that I may send an image of the qr code generated during chart creation so instead of sending a long comliacated URL, i send just the image.

I have been trying to use both their URL shortener and the QR generator for a week with no luck so i am turning here.
here is a link to the test app
https://x.thunkable.com/copy/b22d3bd3325313b258760f241227f31f

you will see on screen 2, the URL for the webviewer has some actual chart configurations I am trying to shorten. That will give you an example of why i need this services so badly. I cant send that URL to anyone and have it easily direct them to anything.
Can anyone help me with this API POST call? Here is what i have done so far

and here is their documentation on the API POST

i think I am doing it right, but I would love a second pair of eyes. I have contacted the quickcharts admin and he let me know the service is working, just not for me due to the way I am forming the POST call

when it works, as shown by the site, the url looks like this
https://quickchart.io/chart/render/9a560ba4-ab71-4d1e-89ea-ce4741e9d232
and produces a chart like this

Hi Jared,

While I haven’t managed to make this work with just blocks yet, if you add the header Content-Type:application/json to the Web API component in the Design tab, you will be able to make a successful API POST.

We’re going to look into whether there is something affecting the performance of the ‘set Headers’ block.

Hi @Jane thank you for looking into this,

Could you share a link back with me showing that working? I did as you stated and took it out of the blocks and placed it into the design tab with no success. I get ‘failed to fetch’

That’s the only thing I changed. This version of the app returns a URL for me: https://x.thunkable.com/copy/c79a7fa8082a7d27b0ebac4615f2f311

Hey Jane! I got it figured out. For some reason, this works perfectly on my phone but not my browser.
Thank you soooooooo much. No more encoding URL’s for these dang charts!
