Need help on this issue, since i am not sure whether this is a network issue or my confiq

[alexnajm]

I am pretty sure they need to go into the Payload tab based on it being mentioned in the docs: Factbird GraphQL API

the message says your json ins't formatted correctly. specifically the first character is wrong. it's expecting json in the {

"key":"value"

} 

format.

400 is often a formatting issue --- this can be what's supplied in an oauth token request, whether or not a value is url encoded or not -- or payload. Make sure your URL is encoded and check out the json in your payload.

@Ahmadhadji I would recommend you test on Postman before going into Alteryx so you can create variables for tokens and test more efficiently
