What actually is going on here? 🤔 You have already prepared request body (that you named as 'filedata' - incorrect name and probably confusing)! In this context instead of setting 'data', you have to set 'body'. 😉 Be more careful!
Hope this helps.

Hi sr_c,
You have correctly set json type for the request payload, but where you're ensuring passed data in the body is correct JSON format? 🤔 Maybe passing something like processed body with 'JSON.stringify' can solve your issue. 😉

Good luck.
