Trouble with Mashape API using Google Apps Script - api

Question

I've been using Google Apps Script for a little while now, but some how always get hung up on this payload thing. I'm just trying to to do a basic api call to mashape. Since it is a post call I'm pretty sure I should use the payload in the parameter-options, but just not really sure what's throwing me my error. Here is my code:
function mashapeTextSentiment(text){
var key = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX";
var url = "https://japerk-text-processing.p.mashape.com/sentiment/";
var language = "english";
var payload = {
"X-Mashape-Key": key,
"language": language,
"text": text
};
var options = {
"method": "post",
"payload": payload
};
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, options);
var rs = JSON.parse(response.getContentText());
return rs;
}
function testMashapeTextSentiment(){
Logger.log(mashapeTextSentiment("Someone please help me with this!"));
}
And this is the error it is giving me:
Request failed for https://japerk-text-processing.p.mashape.com/sentiment/ returned code 401. Truncated server response: {"message":"Invalid Mashape application key provided"} (use muteHttpExceptions option to examine full response) (line 17, file "Code")

I work at Mashape (disclaimer), I looked at ur code, it was a problem with the header - here's a working snippet!
All the best,
function mashape_all_things() {
var url = "https://japerk-text-processing.p.mashape.com/sentiment/";
var language = "english";
var text = "mashape's orlie is the great overlord"
var payload = {
"language": language,
"text": text
};
var options = {
"method": "post",
"headers": { //this is where you went wrong, you didnt pass the header properly
"X-Mashape-Key": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
},
"payload": payload
};
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, options);
Logger.log(response);
return
}
