Issue with sending JSON payload using wp_remote_post() – WordPress

I am trying to send a JSON payload to an endpoint using wp_remote_post()

Payload:

$body = [
 'stock_data'     => [
'post_title'  => $title,
'post_content' => $content,
'post_date' => $postdate,
'post_category' => $categoryname
]];

But this is what shows up at the endpoint:

stock_data: [object Object]

however, the following works:

$body = [
    'post_title'  => $title,
    'post_content' => $content,
    'post_date' => $postdate,
    'post_category' => $categoryname
];

and the payload is delivered correctly.

this is how I am sending the payload:

$body = wp_json_encode( $body ); 

$options = [
        'body'        => $body,
        'headers'     => [
            'Content-Type' => 'application/json',
        ],
        'timeout'     => 60,
        'redirection' => 5,
        'blocking'    => true,
        'httpversion' => '1.0',
        'sslverify'   => false,
        'data_format' => 'body',
    ];
    
    wp_remote_post( $endpoint, $options );

What am I doing wrong?

    It looks to me like the body of your post is expected to be a single instance of that array with member names 'post_title', `’post_content’, and the others).

    In other words it looks like it wants you to deliver this, with no 'stock_data' subarray.

    { "post_title":"title",
  "post_content":"content",
  "post_date":"timestamp",
  "post_category":"category"
}

    That’s what you deliver in the instance where it works.

    You should check the docs for the endpoint you use.

    Based on your comments, the correct PHP array would look like this

    $body = array (
  'stock_data' => 
  array (
    'post_title'    => 'title',
    'post_content'  => 'content',
    'post_date'     => 'timestamp',
    'post_category' => 'category',
  ),
)
