Hi Jasper,

I assume the provided instructions were not clear.

You can add an object using any supported programming language or using the REST API.

Sorry but I am new to this platform and don’t understand you.
Where do I need to put this information?
Like my app ID and API keys?

I want to learn this platform and make some apps!

The example provided in the instructions for the task is in JavaScript. To configure your client-side development environment, see the instructions in the documentation:

So I downloaded npm and used this command, “npm i backendless”.
I dowloaded the backendless.js file from this link “https://api.backendless.com/sdk/js/latest/backendless.js” and replaced my app ID and JavaScript API key in the file.
What should I do now?

Regards

Jasper

Now you need to write a program that makes an API call. However, I recommend writing something that prints “Hello World” to make sure you can actually run it an executable script. For help with hello world, consider googling, using stack overflow, etc.

Good luck!
