#### Start a new Request

## Creating New Calls

* **URL**: `{{SystemURLTest}}/alemba.api/api/v2/call`

The Body of the HTTP request is where you enter the data/changes that you want to enact on the call. The Body is written in JSON. See[ Jargon Buster](https://docs.alemba.com/asm-hermes/integrate/apis/asm-api-quick-reference-guide/..#jargonbuster) to read more about JSON.

**Please note:**
1. Where you have rich text fields (HTML), you always need to provide the **FieldName value** and the **FieldNameHtml value**.
2. Custom fields will always have a **Ext\_** in front of their normal name value
3. Names with spaces will have spaces removed e.g. B Inc External Supplier Name becomes **Ext\_BIncExternalSupplierName**
