Hi,
I want to work with API PUT but it's necessary to give a JSON frame with it. How can I do that?
try switching your http-request node's Method to PUT and whatever msg.payload you send to it will be the body of the request.
How can I send that body with it?
Which node does I need to send the body and where must I place it ?
Your question is how to create a msg.payload which will be the body of the request ?
to name a few .. you can use either an Inject, Change or Function node etc
What have you tried ? What is the JSON frame body of the request that you need to send ?
At this moment I have this script.
The JSON body is : json={'mode': 'NORMAL',"limit": {"unit": "PERCENTAGE", "value": 100 }}

Your Flow cannot be imported .. use the Preformatted Text icon when you share code
so it will be correctly formatted on the Forum.
Try this ..
[{"id":"55a991d4e79c0269","type":"inject","z":"54efb553244c241f","name":"inject data as Json","props":[{"p":"payload"},{"p":"topic","vt":"str"}],"repeat":"","crontab":"","once":false,"onceDelay":0.1,"topic":"","payload":"{\"mode\":\"NORMAL\",\"limit\":{\"unit\":\"PERCENTAGE\",\"value\":100}}","payloadType":"json","x":330,"y":1760,"wires":[["34016018192a8a7b"]]},{"id":"34016018192a8a7b","type":"http request","z":"54efb553244c241f","name":"Laadpaal sturen","method":"POST","ret":"obj","paytoqs":"body","url":"https://app1pub.smappee.net/dev/v3/servicelocation/59792/actuator/1/on","tls":"","persist":false,"proxy":"","authType":"bearer","senderr":true,"x":560,"y":1820,"wires":[["f905ccdb55bd2d80"]]},{"id":"f905ccdb55bd2d80","type":"debug","z":"54efb553244c241f","name":"","active":true,"tosidebar":true,"console":false,"tostatus":false,"complete":"payload","targetType":"msg","statusVal":"","statusType":"auto","x":750,"y":1820,"wires":[]},{"id":"ead31c6b5e54e5bb","type":"inject","z":"54efb553244c241f","name":"inject data as string","props":[{"p":"payload"},{"p":"topic","vt":"str"}],"repeat":"","crontab":"","once":false,"onceDelay":0.1,"topic":"","payload":"json={\"mode\": \"NORMAL\",\"limit\": {\"unit\": \"PERCENTAGE\", \"value\": 100 }}","payloadType":"str","x":330,"y":1880,"wires":[["34016018192a8a7b"]]},{"id":"377dc6d019125967","type":"comment","z":"54efb553244c241f","name":"OR","info":"","x":330,"y":1820,"wires":[]}]
(note that i changed the single quotes to double quotes for mode and NORMAL because single quotes are not valid Json)

better 
i shared in my last post a Flow for you to try ..
( From the menu of the Node-red Editor you can select Import (or Ctrl-I) and copy paste to import and test )
By the way .. do you have any online documentation for your API ?
online documentation:
[type or paste code here](https://smappee.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DEVAPI/overview)
But on this moment I can't send a body with it. That's my problem, I don't know how to send the body (in json) with it
we understand the problem .. this is what we are trying to figure out
and i explained ways of sending a request body .. by sending your Json as part of the msg.payload
- you didnt tell as if you tried the flow example i sent you in my previous post ?
- from the documentation, which API method are you trying ? can you send us the exact link instead of the main page ? Is it the one with the Actuator ? Actuator ON
Yes I tried your example but I receive error 405 even if I try to send it as a string
the exact link: https://app1pub.smappee.net/dev/v3/chargingstations/6000000046/connectors/1/mode
json body: {"mode":"PAUSED"}
@UnborN I already found my problem, in the example was the method on 'Post' but it must 'Put'.
Thank you for the big help!

its important to share with us the correct links to the documentation of the API
what we needed was this page : Set the charging mode of one of the connectors of a charging station
im glad it worked
