3. Select Body (only tab that needs to populate)
4. Toggle raw setting.
5. {“p_username”: “username”, “p_password”:  ”password”}
6. SEND (located on the upper right of the screen)

Hi Don,

Thank you for the article. I've been reviewing the api documentation to authenticate here: https://www.zuora.com/developer/revpro-api/#

I noticed that the URL you are authenticating is different than the one in the documentation. Is there another API aside from the one in the documentation above? I'm having issues authenticating (keeps indicating method not allowed) but if I use the URL you provided and the json body, it works. However the returned token doesn't seem to work (don't think it's a JWToken ?). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
