API errors typically occur due to incorrect API keys, formatting issues, or account limitations. For OpenAI integration issues, verify your API key at OpenAI API Keys and update it in Clay. If you're seeing a "failed to parse body" error, check that your JSON formatting is correct - ensure keys are in double quotes, proper comma placement, and no hidden characters. For general API key issues, you can find your Clay API key by going to your profile picture > Settings > Your Profile section, or view all connected API keys under "Connections" in settings. Make sure you're using the correct API key, especially if your data provider has multiple keys. Could you share the specific error message you're seeing or copy and paste any JSON code you're using so I can help troubleshoot further?

To add first name and last name fields to your API request, make sure they're properly formatted in the Body section: LBKS{ "firstName": "John", "lastName": "Smith" }LBKSIf using dynamic column values: LBKS{ "firstName": "##{{first name column}}", "lastName": "##{{last name column}}" }LBKSRemember that all keys need double quotes, and string values also need quotes. Could you share your current JSON code so I can help troubleshoot further?

Even with first name and last name configured, you might still be getting a "failed to parse body" error due to JSON formatting issues. Common problems include: 1. Missing double quotes around keys or string values 2. Extra commas at the end of lines 3. Incorrect syntax or hidden characters Could you copy and paste your exact JSON body into the chat so I can help troubleshoot the specific formatting issue?

    "website": "abc-tech.com",
    "document_id": "person_1241431_123123",
