Anyway, the error information you shared is just the status code/line. The response body should contain a more useful error message. Checking the response body is generally the best first step in debugging these. Can you print that out? Thanks in advance!

It looks like the parameters I'm sending are not in JSON format (see below):
- Greg-DBThanks! That's correct, that error message indicates that the request body (containing the API call parameters) wasn't valid JSON as required.
Looking at your code, that seems likely, as I don't see where you're building it as JSON, and the code you're calling presumably doesn't default to returning JSON.
You should update your code to take your parameters and format them as a JSON string for use in the request body. You'll probably want to use a JSON library for that, such as Json.NET.
