### Configure Your API Query

You will now enter the details of the API request you wish to make. Here’s a brief on what to input:

2. **URL**: Enter the full API endpoint URL you are querying.
3. **Headers**: If the API requires any headers (like authentication tokens), click on the “Add Header” button and enter the key-value pairs as needed.
4. **Request Body** (for methods that require it, like POST or PUT): Input the JSON or form-encoded data you want to send with your request.
