API - error 400

Hi everyone, I’m trying to call a Hexnode API endpoint using the HTTP action in Power Automate, but I keep getting an Error 400. The request is definitely reaching the server, but something seems off. I’ve worked with APIs before, so I’m assuming it’s a formatting issue on my end. Has anyone run into this?

How to enable API

Hey team, I am trying to send an API request to pull some details, but it keeps coming back with 401 (invalid credentials) error. I do not see any “enable” option either. Is there something I need to turn on, or how do I fix this?
