For some reason only this worked for me today. All other variants ended up in bad json error from API.

Besides, yet another variant for creating required POST request with JSON payload.

_x000D_

request.post({_x000D_
    uri: 'https://www.googleapis.com/urlshortener/v1/url',_x000D_
    headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/json'},_x000D_
    body: JSON.stringify({"longUrl": "http://www.google.com/"})_x000D_
});

Since the request module that other answers use has been deprecated  may I suggest switching to node-fetch  const fetch   require  quot node-fetch quot    const url    quot https   www googleapis com urlshortener v1 url quot  const payload     longUrl   quot http   www google com  quot     const res   await fetch url      method   quot post quot     body  JSON stringify payload     headers     quot Content-Type quot    quot application json quot         const   id     await res json

As the official documentation says      body - entity body for PATCH  POST and PUT requests  Must be a Buffer  String or ReadStream  If json is true  then body must be a JSON-serializable object    When sending JSON you just have to put it in body of the option   var options         uri   https   myurl com       method   POST       json  true      body    my date     json     request options  myCallback
