Almost, but not quite. You’d want to remove the script tags, and change the imports to something like:

```js
import { ajax } from "discourse/lib/ajax";

```

Then, paste all this in the JS tab, **inside** :

> [@david](#):
>
> ```js
> export default apiInitializer((api) => {
> // Your code here
> });
> 
> ```
