Configuring the API...
On the next page we're going to head
straight to the HTTP request tab. Then add the headers:

 Step 6
Setting up the Body...
Head over to Spark and get your API request inputs
JSON view and add it to the raw body.

Finally add in your input variables

using by overwriting the values with:
{{AnnualInterestRate}}

I got a data type warning when I linked it

to my operation input but it worked fine.

Add your Operational inputs and test it...

The final part to mapping your request is to take

the inputs you labelled in your body and to add
them as Operation inputs; they need a Name, Key
and Value Type.

sample data and the click the Test operation
