Hi, As a newbie to parabola and indeed API in general, I am trying to figure out how to connect Parabola to a software I use called [Dexi.io](http://Dexi.io). I have the API information in Dexi, but whatever I do I can not figure out how to set up the Parabola end of this to retrieve the data. I will no doubt have a similar question when I push the data to Mautic. I have included a screen grab of the info in Dexi. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/parabola/original/1X/87e52a6235d35ef716ef47d6c83af062f57f6f61.png) Any help, would be so much appreciated. I am trying to learn and really want to move forward. Thanks in advance ---

Hey @Tony_Standing! No problem, we can definitely help you get set up. Can you send me a link to the API documentation for Dexi and I can take a look? You can start by dragging in an API Import step and filling in the information, similar to below. I believe you’ll just need to add `X-DexiIO-Access` and `X-DexiIO-Account` to the custom headers section and you should be good to go. Can you give that a try and let me know? I can also help some more once I can see their documentation. ![Screen Shot 2020-06-05 at 14.34.13](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/parabola/original/1X/4f07da411e300e2cfc9ef40661bf6663e1381224.png) ---

Aplogies, I thought I included the info: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/parabola/original/1X/7f15835a43a82d841445e183804c23fa18ad341f.png) ---

Hey @Tony_Standing – hmm, not sure exactly what’s going on. It’s a little tricky for me to debug without more documentation. I’ll have someone on the team look into this on Monday, or hopefully someone in the community can help before then! ---

Hey Tony, That error would make me think that you are using [https://api.dexi.io](https://api.dexi.io) as the API Endpoint URL. That is just the base of the URL, so you will need to add more to it. The example you sent uses this URL: [https://api.dexi.io/runs/{runId}/latest/results](https://api.dexi.io/runs/%7BrunId%7D/latest/results) - but you would need to replace {runId} with an actual run ID. Can you send a screenshot of the doc that shows an example of which endpoint you want to use? ---

Hi all I managed to solve this connection. It seems there was a typo in the api documentation. I dropped an S and it works great, just struggling with Mautic API now. Thanks for all the help and offers of help. Tony
