You need to set the content-type in postman as JSON  application json    Go to the body inside your POST request  there you will find the raw option   Right next to it  there will be a drop down  select JSON  application json

Http 415 Media Unsupported is responded back only when the content type header you are providing is not supported by the application   With POSTMAN  the Content-type header you are sending is Content type  multipart form-data not application json  While in the ajax code you are setting it correctly to application json  Pass the correct Content-type header in POSTMAN and it will work

I also got this error  I was using Text inside body after changing to XML text xml    got result as expected   If your request is XML Request  use XML text xml    If your request is JSON Request use JSON application json
