Hi @akashgera ,
Seems that there are extra quotes in your RequestBody,check example below:

Hi Kelly,
Still facing the same issue, I don't know what is wrong in this code (No Syntax error detected)
Error: Invalid API Credentials.
Used postman to fetch the data using same parameters and it is giving data without any error.
I think something is wrong in this part:
webdata = Web.Contents(url, [Content = Text.ToBinary(RequestBody), Headers=header])
Pls help !
