  Yes, I'm sending a json in the body. And the response is being received. I set that route in server.ts

  do you have an

  app.use(express.json());

  somewhere in your server.ts?

  
  

  
  

  i would also try changing it to

  app.post

  to receive a

  req.body
  

  
  

  personally my get routes usually use URL/query params as opposed to a req body

  The app.use(express.json()); worked.

  
  
  

  And about the post, you are right, that is a better practice. This was just a test. In the real function code I'm using a post request. Thanks! 😄
