Unable to create my own quote callout using tp.web.request - 400 error

Plugin information (please complete the following information):

Describe the bug I am trying to run the file at the bottom and it is returning a 400 error. I have tried everything I could think of and nothing is working. I have zero clue why this is happening.

I am using the docs here: https://api-ninjas.com/api/quotes

Created an account with a correct API key.

Expected behavior Retrieve a quote and put it in a callout.
