Use parameter in power query m

I am a newby, but try to request an API in power query.

 

I had the following but want to change it to use parameters:

 

 

 

let
    body = "{
        ""organisation"":""*****"",
        ""username"":""*****"",
        ""password"":""******""
        }", 
    Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://api.olisa.eu/rest/sessions/open",
    [Headers = [#"Accept-version"= "v3",
    #"Content-Type"= "application/json"],
    Content = Text.ToBinary(body)]
    
    )),
    #"Geconverteerd naar tabel" = Record.ToTable(Source)
in
    #"Geconverteerd naar tabel"

 

 

 

 THis was working, but now i try the following: and this gives an error.

 

 

 

let
   OrganisationPar = Organisation,
   UsernamePar = Username, 
   PasswordPar = Password,

    body = "{
        ""organisation"":"&OrganisationPar&",
        ""username"":"&UsernamePar&",
        ""password"":"&PasswordPar&"
        }", 
    Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://api.olisa.eu/rest/sessions/open",
    [Headers = [#"Accept-version"= "v3",
    #"Content-Type"= "application/json"],
    Content = Text.ToBinary(body)]
    
    )),
    #"Geconverteerd naar tabel" = Record.ToTable(Source)
in
    #"Geconverteerd naar tabel"

Hi @DionTN ,

 

You are missing some double quotes, please use the following body:

 

body = "{
        ""organisation"":"""&OrganisationPar&""",
        ""username"":"""&UsernamePar&""",
        ""password"":"""&PasswordPar&"""
        }"

Try this

body = "{
        ""organisation"":""&OrganisationPar&"",
        ""username"":""&UsernamePar&"",
        ""password"":""&PasswordPar&""
        }"

Still got an error.. I added a , on the end of the body because it was required.
