Hello everyone; It’s me again for some help ! My journey to study is going well.

I have a issue with a type : application/x-www-form-urlencoded

I also check the topic : [Dynamic values in API call with application/x-www-form-urlencoded - #3 by elasticwork](https://forum.bubble.io/t/dynamic-values-in-api-call-with-application-x-www-form-urlencoded/271878/3) which is the same topic and same api; but it seems that my solution is the same as him but still not working.

When it call the API via parameters i have a ERROR but when I do it directly from api connector it work  
From here it work

it work here with date date in UNIX  
 ![show](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/5/e/5e2d232170a8b8e0e1515cf1e734e920031872d5.png)

And from here It look normally ok :

 ![show2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/d/5/d599d80e7663683f2a28af38b541f4520277c24e.png)

But the error appair; I think it’s because of the application/x-www-form-urlencoded ? If anyone have a solution 🙂

I didn’t knew if I had to reply on the other topic or create a new one; sorry if i did a mistake.

fail; the error is the sending  
If I call the API directly from api connector it work  
But if I put it on RAW in the workflow it’s not working EVEN with the ID; probably a sending error anyone have a idea ?

Try to send the request to [requestbin.com](http://requestbin.com) from both API connector and workflow and compare both call.

Also, can you share the full error message?

</div>

Any difference? Does both have the content-type header? ( I guess you are using shared header)  
Sound like a bug for me, but just to be sure (and maybe to help support ;P)

Nop same error;

How can I try from requestbin ?  
You can see the error here : [Loom | Free Screen & Video Recording Software | Loom](https://www.loom.com/share/7cc48e49fc74445092a97ad5de1de11b)

If someone have the solution I will be the most happy.

What if you remove private checkbox? You should probably contact Bubble because this seem to be a Bug related to the private checkbox I guess

Delete everything and try from a new call.  
However, don’t hesitate to send a support ticket. It’s a bug.  
Also, what if you try to add it to url? .net?clientId=[clientID]&accessToken=[accessToken]…

Unbox all private box then just select all field in the Workflow delete 1 character then add it again and here we go.

Thank’s Jici

I converted the call to a raw body (had to rebuild it because I was also using query parameters. But that helped me fix this issue for good. Because abusing the JSON body type to send form payload was causing problems sometimes
