I'm trying to setup the download tool correctly in order to pull data from Statistics Canada through their API but can't figure out how to incorporate the POST Body section. Here's the full details and attached is my workflow.

 

getDataFromVectorsAndLatestNPeriods

POST URL:
https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/wds/rest/getDataFromVectorsAndLatestNPeriods

POST BODY:
[{"vectorId":32164132, "latestN":3}]

Is it possible that you have the wrong vectorID in your call?

In their documentation it looks like they are expecting an integer and you have the letter v in front of it.

I might be wrong here, but that's the first thing I would check
