Hello, I’m trying to make a discord message system using POST requests but can’t seem to make it work

Here is my code so far:

function setup()
    url="https://discord.com/api/v9/auth/login"
    params={ 
        ["method"] = "POST",
        ["data"] = {
            ["login"] = "email", 
            ["password"] = "password", 
            ["undelete"] = "false", 
            ["captcha_key"] = "null", 
            ["login_source"] = "null", 
            ["gift_code_sku_id"] = "null"
        },
        ["headers"] = {
            ["content-type"] = "application/json"
        }
    }
        
    http.request(url, success, fail, params)
end

function success(data,status,head)
    print("success")
    print(#data)
    print(status)
    print(head)  
end

function fail(data,status,head) 
    print("fail") 
    print(data)
    print(status)
    print(head)
end

The response I get is:

Request failed: bad request (400)

This is what the request looks like in JavaScript if that can help:

discord_login(); async function discord_login() { let req = new Request("https://discord.com/api/v9/auth/login"); req.method = "POST"; req.headers = { "content-type": "application/json" }; let body = { "login":"email", "password":"password", "undelete":false, "captcha_key":null, "login_source":null, "gift_code_sku_id":null}; req.body = JSON.stringify(body); let json = await req.loadJSON(); console.log(json) };

Looks like the rest of your code is fine but you need to convert the payload into a json string rather than pass it a lua table. ‘json.encode(your_payload)’ should do the trick.
