POST request with JSON payload with NodeJS - node.js

Question

I'm trying to hit the Intercom API to retrieve a list of conversations and I can't figure out what's wrong. Here is the code:
const request=require('request')
const search_intercom=(admin_id, callback) => {
const options = {
url: 'https://api.intercom.io/conversations/search',
method: 'POST',
headers: {
Authorization: 'Bearer <token>'
},
json: {
query: JSON.stringify({
"field": "teammate_ids",
"operator": "=",
"value": admin_id
})
}
};
request(options, (error, {body} = {}) => {
if (error) {
callback('unable to connect to intercom API', undefined)
} else if (body.length === 0) {
callback('something went wrong', undefined)
} else {
callback(undefined, {
conversation_id: body.conversations[0].id,
client_name: body.conversations[0].source.author.name
})
console.log(body)
}
})
}
module.exports = search_intercom
I was able to wire it up correctly with the web server, so when I debug, options.json.query.admin_id does contain a valid id.
It breaks and says
conversation_id: body.conversations[0].id,
TypeError: Cannot read property '0' of undefined
Here is the content of the body response:
{
type: 'error.list',
request_id: '<some request_id>',
errors: [ { code: 'server_error', message: 'Server Error' } ]
}
Where should I look? I've tried a few different variations of options for sending the payload and I am guessing this is the issue, but I can't find the winning formula...

Answer 1

It looks like I got the body all wrong.
options should look like this instead:
const options = {
url: 'https://api.intercom.io/conversations/search',
method: 'POST',
headers: {
Authorization: 'Bearer <token>'
},
json: true,
body: {
query: {
"field": "teammate_ids",
"operator": "=",
"value": JSON.stringify(admin_id)
}
}
};
