Hi,

I am dealing with an API, which requires data to be sent in “x-www-form-urlencoded” type BODY. I could not find a way to send BODY data in “x-www-form-urlencoded” form.

If you have heard of Postman API Platform, where you can send test requests to API, I have sent BODY data in “x-www-form-urlencoded” form from it. The response successfully comes, and everything is good in Postman. Here’s the screenshot of Postman BODY area -

If you could suggest any way to send data in BODY with “x-www-form-urlencoded” form in Thunkable X, it would be helpful.

Thanks! 😊

Hi, @actech! 👋  
Thanks a lot for your reply! 😊

I think you misunderstood my question 😅

Your blocks set the body to just “x-www-form-urlencoded”.

What I want is, set BODY to “x-www-form-urlencoded” type of data. Here’s a description of what’s “x-www-form-urlencoded” - [click here](https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1CHBF_enIN870IN870&sxsrf=ACYBGNSnWQpEctgjcSC9P0hCujCsz4OUJA%3A1577702633736&ei=6dQJXsXOLPib4-EPr5Wx8Ak&q=post+body+x-www-form-urlencoded&oq=POST+x-www-form-urlencoded+&gs_l=psy-ab.3.0.0i7i30l10.1428.5424..6870...0.2..0.257.1430.2-6......0....1..gws-wiz.......0i71j35i39j0i67j0j0i20i263.djO_D3aFIDw)

Thunkable X only has the option of setting BODY to a text string.

Thanks! 😊

Try to indicate this type in the header, for example, xmlhttp.setRequestHeader (**‘Content-Type’, ‘application/x-www-form-urlencoded’)**;

### Thank you so much @actech! 🎉

Your Solution worked perfectly 👍 👍  
TBH, before your solution came, I spent my whole day searching how to set BODY 😅

Thanks a lot! 😊
