_My question_: Why can’t I see variables to connect other nodes to this Send Request? Why does mine look different from the Stock Market Example? I’m not on a paid version.

_Details (like screenshots)_:

The variables section of the Send Request block only displays variables used in the request that is selected.

In the Stock Market Example, `ticker name` and `Analysis-url` are variables used within the “Get Price and Analysis for stock” request.

Thank you, so where would I put variables in the block to have them show up? I have tried multiple ways and I’m sure it’s simple I just can’t find any info about it.
