Hey again It’s me and my API issues again.
So I successfully (I think) set up a POST API call to publish some items a marketplace. It works beautifully as long as I use only one type of characters (numbers). Once I start adding letters to my body parameters values, it fails. Here are snapshots of both cases:
Case 1 - API Call Using only numbers
Case 1 - Response
Case 2 - API Call using numbers and letters
Case 2 - Response
The funny part is that if I run the API Script in Postman it works, regardless of what characters I am using. 
What am I doing wrong here? Is there any extra info I need to ask the API developer to provide me with?
Thank you
I tried it with httpbin and it works.
But you are using this call as an “Action” type of call. Meaning it will be triggered clicking on a button or similar. You have content type set to json. I know in Postman u need to set body type to raw. But here u can already set it to json only defining body parameter ( keys ) leaving the values blank. Then in your workflow which hooks on the click event u set the values from the input fields.
There is a youtube video for this process: https://youtu.be/nO8PSqeJaWk?t=1906
Also maybe try to check that box “Capture response headers” and after initzializing the call look at the raw response data.
Which API do you want to use?

Thanks Benjamin, I was just about to write back on this. So I used requestbin to verify my API call and realized 2 things:
- I need to have it changed to json body
- I had to change the format of my body parameters.
The format I was using was:
“pn_id”: <pn_id>
and I was supposed to use:
“pn_id”: "<pn_id>"
It seems to be working fine now.
The video you shared is gold! Appreciate a lot your help!!
