      You need to enter values for make, model, and year.

            I think you have a syntax typo: {model –> {model}

      Rename {model} to {carmodel} and see if that helps. Do that in the URL and Request tabs.

      Check Edmunds API to see how to construct such request. From this example, you can place placeholders in the URL and replace them with values when you run the app.
