A few people have had trouble with the curl command with HTTP integration, just posting this as it works for me when I use the **Windows version of Curl**

Everything is OK with the curl command, but you need to slightly change the “data” part in a manner similar to the following

Try replacing  
`'{"dev_id":"yourdev","payload_raw":"AQE="}'`  
with

`"{\"dev_id\":\"yourdev\",\"payload_raw\":\"AQE=\"}"`

i.e. use **"** instead of **’** to encapsulate the whole JSON and escape the **"** inside the json with a preceeding \

Your curl should look something like this

`curl -v -X POST --data "{\"dev_id\":\"yourdev\",\"payload_raw\":\"AQE=\"}" https://integrations.thethingsnetwork.org/ttn-eu/api/v2/down/thing_nodes/http_1?key=ttn-account-v2.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx`

Hope it helps someone

Or, use [Postman](https://www.getpostman.com/).

Try the following to set it up (sorry for rubbish pics)

1. HTTP Integration

2. Go to [https://requestb.in](https://requestb.in) and set up an endpoint

3. After setting up requestb.in, you will get a webpage endpoint like below

4. Go back to the TTN console and enter the webpage endpoint as below (without the `?inspect`)

5. Send some data and go back to Requestb.in. You will see some data now.

6. Use that URL to schedule a downlink. **N.B. Remember to set “No Auth” for authorisation in postman** - OK for testing etc

Hi. I’m trying to integrate this in Android studio using Volley, but I don’t have any idea how to use “dev\_id”:“yourdev” as a parameter. Those ‘’ are my problem. I’m kind of new to this so any solution would be usefull
