Add Journal VIA API

I am trying to figure out how to create a Journal Entry by using the API.

Is the sequence I am explaining correct?

1. I use the following to GET the company.

https:/api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/v2.0/xxxxxxxxxxxxx/D365Env/api/v2.0/Companies/)

2. Then I use the company to GET the journal batch.

https:/api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/v2.0/xxxxxxxxxxxxx/D365Env/api/v2.0/companies(xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)/journals

3. Then I use journal batch to GET the journal entry I want to add a new line to.

https:/api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/v2.0/xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/D365Env/api/v2.0/companies(xxxxxxxxxxxx)/journals(xxxxxxx)/journalLines

4. Then I POST to add a new journal line the following data as a json object.

Dim postdataje As New JObject
postdataje.Add(/lineNumber/, /3000/)
postdataje.Add(/accountType/, /G_x002F_L_x0020_Account/)
postdataje.Add(/accountNumber/, /12130/)
postdataje.Add(/postingDate/, /2024-05-28/)
postdataje.Add(/documentNumber/, /G00003/)
postdataje.Add(/externalDocumentNumber/, //)
postdataje.Add(/amount/, /500/)
postdataje.Add(/balanceAccountType/, /G_x002F_L_x0020_Account/)

The actual post request looks like:

https:/api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/v2.0/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/D365Env/api/v2.0/companies(xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)/journals(xxxxxx)/journalLines/

httpWebRequest.ContentType = /application/json/
httpWebRequest.Method = /POST/
httpWebRequest.Headers.Add(/Authorization/, /Bearer / & token)
httpWebRequest.KeepAlive = True
httpWebRequest.Accept = /application/json/

I end up getting an error which I am trying to figure out:

(400) Bad Request.

Does all this look correct?

Thanks Keith
