return
}
req, err := http.NewRequest("POST", apiURL, bytes.NewReader(payloadBytes))
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Error creating request:", err)
return
}
req.Header.Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
req.Header.Set("Authorization", "Bearer API_TOKEN")
client := http.DefaultClient
resp, err := client.Do(req)
