how to replace a POST request in Postman with an AutoIT code - (Moved)

Hi.

I'll point out right away that I'm not a programmer, so I apologize if I ask an obvious question.

I use Postman to connect to the Rest-API provided to me. After providing the server address I authorize myself using the API Key placed in the header plus modifying two more headers like below:
appKey: <Provided by the connected factory team>.
Content-Type: application/json 
Accept: application/json

After selecting POST and typing raw Body:
{
    "WorkOrderNumber": "000123456789"
}

and clicking Send I get a response containing the definition of the data shape and the data associated with the request for a specific WorkOrderNumber. That's all in Postman.

I want to do the same in AutoIT. I wrote some lines of code that end up with successful authorization (200 connection status), I get ResponseTest feedback with shape definition (as in Postman)

$APIKey = "blablablabla"
$Services = "https://serverName"
$DataBase = "/GetWorkOrderInformation"

$oHTTP = ObjCreate("winhttp.winhttprequest.5.1")
$oHTTP.Open("POST", $Services & $DataBase, False)
$oHTTP.SetRequestHeader("appKey", $APIKey)
$oHTTP.SetRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json")
$oHTTP.SetRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json")
$oHTTP.Send()
$response = $oHTTP.ResponseText

;checking connection status
ConsoleWrite ("Connection Status: " & $oHTTP.Status & @CRLF & @CRLF)

;server response
$response = $oHTTP.ResponseText
ConsoleWrite ($response & @CRLF & @CRLF)

but I don't know where to put the query from Postmans Body:  "WorkOrderNumber": "000123456789"

Need help. THX

Moved to the appropriate AutoIt General Help and Support forum, as the Developer General Discussion forum very clearly states:

Do not create AutoIt-related topics here, use the AutoIt General Help and Support or AutoIt Technical Discussion forums.

Update your .Open line to use the entire long string from postman located next to the SEND button.

Something like this:  $oHTTP.Open("POST", "https://serverName/GetWorkOrderInformation/?WorkOrderNumber:000123456789", False)

It doesn't work. I modify my line like you said and nothing, response is the same, only shape definition.

BTW. Long string from Postman, next to the SEND button, doesn't include raw Body text, just $SeverName & $Services

EDIT:

To send Body request you have to use below:

$oHTTP.Send('{"WorkOrderNumber": "000123456789"}')

THX :)
