Testing Auth0 API Patch Request - node.js

Question

Trying to test Auth0 API patch request to modify user_metadata.
Using mocha and superagent for testing.
Get succeeds, but doing a patch with a userid and sending
.send({ "metadata": { "nickname": "Jill" } })
in the mocha testing file does not work.
router.patch('/:id', function(req, res, next) {
var options = {
method: 'PATCH',
url: 'https://mrides.auth0.com/api/v2/users/' + req.params.id,
headers: {
Authorization: "Bearer " + apiToken
},
data: req.body
}
request.patch(options, function(err, response, body) {
if(!err && response.statusCode == 200) {
res.send(JSON.parse(body))
} else {
res.status(500).send(err);
}
})
});
Error:
{
"statusCode": 400,
"error": "Bad Request",
"message": "Payload validation error: 'Expected type object but found type null'.",
"errorCode": "invalid_body"
}
Had seen this question:
Auth0 API Request
but it did not work when trying:
data: JSON.stringify(req.body)
Any help or links on how to propery modify user_metadata?
Have also been looking through Auth0 docs but no advancement yet.

change options following way:
var options = {
method: 'PATCH',
url: 'https://mrides.auth0.com/api/v2/users/' + req.params.id,
headers: {
Authorization: "Bearer " + apiToken
},
// change here
body: req.body
}
request.patch(options, function(err, response, body) {
if(!err && response.statusCode == 200) {
res.send(JSON.parse(body))
} else {
res.status(500).send(err);
}
})
};
