Hi @danpaul,

As per your screenshot you are adding the complete ID value in {{}} brackets, try submitting without {{}} brackets. Since these brackets denote variables. By this value, there will not be any variable defined and this would have resulted in a null value and final URL will look like
“https://api.getpostman.com/collections/”

You may check this in the postman console.

Hope this helps :slight_smile:.
