Not seeing the error msg for http 400 response

Questions API

I checked every line and it matches my request in Postman, but I get a http 400 - bad request response in vb.net. Can some please help? below is an outline of the code:

Dim jsonPayload As String = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(payloadObject)
jsonPayload = "{ ““profile””: " + jsonPayload + “}”

Dim request As HttpWebRequest = DirectCast(WebRequest.Create(url), HttpWebRequest)

request.Method = “POST”
request.Headers.Add(“Authorization”, "SSWS " + apiToken)
request.ContentType = “application/json”
request.Accept = “application/json”

Dim byteArray As Byte() = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(jsonPayload)
request.ContentLength = byteArray.Length
Using writer As Stream = request.GetRequestStream()
writer.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length)
End Using

Dim response As HttpWebResponse = DirectCast(request.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse)

I get an error on the above line - {“The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request.”}

Hello,

What API call are you making, the URL is not supplied.
Can you supply the actual http request that is being made by VB.

Thank You,
