You may need to add additional Headers as per the Freshdesk API: https://developers.freshdesk.com/api/#filter_tickets

 

Content-Type: application/json

 

Try moving the query string parameters to the Query String Params section.

LEFT | RIGHT

query | "tag:XXX"

Hi man, I would have the same prob. I’m trying to confingure this API integration: 
https://apolloio.github.io/apollo-api-docs/?shell#people-api 

I would love to integrate the search function. 
I set it up as in attachment, but the system tells me “API Key required” 

Thanks for your time
