Error message from API when sending POST with Cypress - cypress

Question

I try to send an API request with cy.request but there seems to be something wrong with the data format. My code looks as follows:
cy.request({
url: Cypress.env("RtmApiUrl") + "/test-plan/",
method: "POST",
headers: {
"Authorization": "Bearer " + Cypress.env('RtmApiToken'),
"content-type": "application/json",
body: {
"projectKey": "QAIR",
"summary": "API Test Regression",
"description": "Full regression",
"parentTestKey": "F-QAIR-TP-8",
"priority": {
"id": 3,
"name": "Medium"
},
"status": {
"id": 10005,
"name": "Backlog"
},
"includedTestCases": []
},
},
});
And the console output from Cypress Test Runner:
CypressError: `cy.request()` failed on:
https://rtm-api.hexygen.com/api/test-plan/
The response we received from your web server was:
> 400: Bad Request
This was considered a failure because the status code was not `2xx` or `3xx`.
If you do not want status codes to cause failures pass the option: `failOnStatusCode: false`

The request we sent was:

}
Body: {
"errorMessages": [
"No content to map to Object due to end of input"
]
}
I already tried the same combination of header and body with Postman and curl and it worked. Is there something I missed?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Folks, I missed a bracket at the end of the headers block. So this was a real classic layer 8 issue...
cy.request({
url: Cypress.env("RtmApiUrl") + "/test-plan/",
method: "POST",
headers: {
"Authorization": "Bearer " + Cypress.env('RtmApiToken'),
"content-type": "application/json"
},
body: {
"projectKey": "QAIR",
"summary": "API Test Regression",
"description": "Full regression",
"parentTestKey": "F-QAIR-TP-8",
"priority": {
"id": 3,
"name": "Medium"
},
"status": {
"id": 10005,
"name": "Backlog"
},
"includedTestCases": []
},
},
});
