I realized it should be at Permissions/RequestPermission - but that doesn't help at all.

ok, it should be RequestPermissions, so at least that part worked. My API credentials are still failing tho.
Also, 500 means server error, ya know? can you please throw a 404 if I get a complicated url wrong?

OK, finding more problems. Fixed the underscores in the header. Now I'm getting a 500000 error!
