Hello  
I also asked Mike Duglas for help but maybe someone here know the answer.  
I'm using Stripe API and second call looks like this:

```auto
curl https://api.stripe.com/v1/charges \
  -u sk_test_xqpWDTDwbnbfbVYVVpet70mp: \
  -d amount=999 \
  -d currency=usd \
  -d description="Example charge" \
  -d source=tok_visa

```

I meant to use something like this:

loc:link = [https://api.stripe.com/v1/charges](https://api.stripe.com/v1/charges)

loc:postParams = 'amount=999&currency=usd&description="Example charge"&source=tok\_visa'

res = curl.SendRequestStr(loc:link, loc:PostParams, respBuffer)

but I don't know how to use first parameter:

-u sk\_test\_xqpWDTDwbnbfbVYVVpet70mp:

Thank you

I highly recommend prototyping in something like [Postman](https://www.getpostman.com) and then, once you figure out the correct incantations, you will have a huge headstart on implementing it. Postman even generates code for you, libcurl being one of the target languages.

-u switch means user:pwd pair, so you should call

> curl.SetUserPwd(‘sk\_test\_xqpWDTDwbnbfbVYVVpet70mp’, ‘’)

in this case.

Ok, thank you so much, I will do that.
