I’ve tried several versions using my ID and get {“error”:”Authentification failed”}. I can run the JSON data request and that’s really cool, but am lost in figuring API commands. Is there a tutorial that clearly describes what data goes where? Thank You!

Next, for the actual call, you can use extensions in Chrome for that (like DHC) or online tools like Hurl.it . See the pic for an example with the latter. Alternatively , you can also use the “Data” tab in the dashboard to achieve the same thing, easier. Feel free to post any questions on this, I’d love to help.
