    <p>I am working with the Balanced Payments API and trying to figure out how to create a customer.</p> <p><a href="https://docs.balancedpayments.com/current/api.html?language=bash#creating-a-customer" rel="nofollow">https://docs.balancedpayments.com/current/api.html?language=bash#creating-a-customer</a></p> <p>The address is passed as an object, though I am unfamiliar with how to pass anything other than a string. Here is the code I have so far which successfully passes a name and email address:</p> <pre><code> Dim request As WebRequest = WebRequest.Create("https://api.balancedpayments.com/v1/customers") request.Method = "POST" ' get this information from settings in your web config. Dim userName As String = "API KEY GOES HERE" Dim credentials As String = Convert.ToString(userName &amp; Convert.ToString(":")) request.Headers("Authorization") = "Basic " + Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(credentials)) Dim postData As String = "name=John Doe&amp;email=jdoe@domain.com" Dim byteArray As Byte() = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(postData) request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" request.ContentLength = byteArray.Length Dim dataStream As Stream = request.GetRequestStream() dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length) dataStream.Close() Dim response As WebResponse = request.GetResponse() ' create a data stream. dataStream = response.GetResponseStream() ' create a stream reader. Dim reader As New StreamReader(dataStream) ' read the content into a string Dim serverResponse As String = reader.ReadToEnd() ' clean up. reader.Close() dataStream.Close() response.Close() </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
