POST Request Error

Hi,

I'm really struggling to find what is wrong with my M code to make a POST request. Although I know you would need to know the API to know exactly what is wrong but I just want to check that there is nothing wrong with the way I am making the request? As I am getting a 400. Bad Request error.

For info the API I'm using is Clockify.

I have connected to the API fine for GET requests but can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. And I just want to rule out that I am doing something wrong with the Request rather than misunderstanding the API.

 

Thanks for any help at all

Hi @Anonymous ,
I cannot spot anything obvious.
But you can reduce the risk of typing errors if you use the Json.FromValue function to define the body of your request: Easy POST requests with Power BI and Power Query using Json.FromValue – The BIccountant
