    ImkeF  yes, Json.FromValue works.

     

     

    data = Json.FromValue([ Period = [ Begin = paramBegin , End = paramEnd ],TargetObject = [ ObjectId = paramObjectId ,ObjectTypeId = paramObjectTypeId ]])

Does Parameters works in you case? For example

 

data = Json.Document("{Period:{Begin:"paramBegin",End:"paramEnd"}

Yes, it would work

 

 

 

data = Json.Document("{Period:{Begin:""" & paramBegin & """,End:""" & paramEnd & """},TargetObject:{ObjectId:""" & paramObjectId & """,ObjectTypeId:""" & paramObjectTypeId & """}}")

 

 

Don't lose any sleep  (pun intended) over the double quotes - they are all needed.

      How about this?

       

      let
        data = "{Period:{Begin:""1584428676205"",End:""1584515076205""},TargetObject:{ObjectId:""51005"",ObjectTypeId:""0F1E3A4A-88F5-4166-9BE8-76033DD85D08""}}",
        headers = [#"accept"="*/*", #"ScoutAuthorization"=paramAuthorizationId, #"Content-Type"="application/json"],
        web = Web.Contents("http://url", [ Content = data, Headers = headers, ManualStatusHandling = {404, 400}]),
        result = Json.Document(web)
in
    result

        Get another error:

        Expression.Error: We cannot convert the value "{Period:{Begin:"1584..." to type Binary.
        Details:
        Value={Period:{Begin:"1584428676205",End:"1584515076205"},TargetObject:{ObjectId:"51005",ObjectTypeId:"0F1E3A4A-88F5-4166-9BE8-76033DD85D08"}}
        Type=[Type]

         

        Can you explain me, this expressions is equal to each other or not:

         

        data = Json.FromValue([Begin=1584428676205, End=1584515076205, ObjectTypeId="0F1E3A4A-88F5-4166-9BE8-76033DD85D08", ObjectId=51005]) equal

        data = "{Period:{Begin:""1584428676205"",End:""1584515076205""},TargetObject:{ObjectId:""51005"",ObjectTypeId:""0F1E3A4A-88F5-4166-9BE8-76033DD85D08""}}"
