[shedymandawe]

I am using chrome and when i enter the the URL for API it is not formatted just like yours. How to do that?

[Teerian]

Thanks, very helpful. But I have an issue. GET requests work like a charm, I get data without issue. As soon as I switch to POST, it stops working and I end up with an error message: "Site temporarily unavailable" and I'm trying to find what could be wrong and I can't figure it out.
