Hi ​@Nauman ,
You can’t make API calls reliably inside Code by Zapier because it times out after 1 second. Instead, use Webhooks by Zapier or the API Request (Beta) action for calling APIs, and keep the Code step only for data formatting or logic.

If your issue still isn’t solved, post screenshots of your Zap showing both the data in and data out so we can help fix it.

​@Nauman 

Looks like you might be on a Zapier Free plan.

 

You can definitely make API calls in Code steps.
