In postman, for token based API, we first generate token, then pass that generated token to the API.

Now if we want to pass request body to API in postman, we pass JSON in Body tab.

As shown is above image, I want to pass Body in form of JSON to API, how an where can we pass request body to API in Node-RED???

Thank you!

Don't know if I correctly got your question, but I am sending requests to API with the `http request` node, by injecting a msg.payload containing the JSON.
