How do you properly encode a value to be part of an HTTP POST body? or What’s the best way to encode

Wow, thanks for all the replies! Didn’t realize how much the content-type header mattered. Tried JSON.stringify() and it worked like a charm for my API call.

Still confused about when to use URL encoding tho—like, is it only for old-school form submissions? Gonna play around with Postman to test both.

Y’all saved me hours of headaches, appreciate it!
