Hi all,

 

I have followed the instruction on the DVLA's website and I have also looked at a workflow posted by another used that seems to have worked.

However I keep getting the same error

Try wrapping your request in the brackets {     }

Hi Brandon,

 

I had tried that already and it didn't work.

Hi

 

Apologies, not sure what you mean. I assume that it's not in the workflow because i attached it. are you referring to the DVLA website?

 

Thanks for the help

Your error specifically states that your request body is in an invalid format:

Try putting it in the query string/body section

and make sure you are using squiggly brackets, not square brackets

 

{"registrationNumber":"TE57VRN"}
