Hi Emmanuel, Can you elaborate on what's not working? It's possible that you need to *URL encode* the chl payload. This is a requirement of the original Google API ( docs <https://developers.google.com/chart/infographics/docs/qr_codes>) and pretty much any API where you'll be passing special characters in query parameters.
