Origen = Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://hst-api.wialon.com/wialon/ajax.html?svc=token/login", [Headers=[#"Content-Type"="application/x-www-form-urlencoded"]], [params={"token":"71406a685ac5fa696c7b3daefb1343b9FE88C2C627E3F9EF6A68E2FD49EA0836304BEA87","operateAs":"PB-Int"}],

The body of the query does not give me the expected results.

 

The error message is: "wrong params"
