Unable to send a post request using POSTMAN

Question

I am trying to make a post call to https://api2.realtor.ca/Listing.svc/PropertySearch_Post.

I am able to do this using a node library realtorca, but I would like to make this call using Postman. I am obviously new to Postman and these REST calls so I am having a tough time.

When I looked at realtorca.js, it is basically doing

return request({
            method: 'POST',
            uri: API_URL,
            form: form,
            json: true
        });

where API_URL is 'https://api2.realtor.ca/Listing.svc/PropertySearch_Post' and form is

{ CultureId: 1,
  ApplicationId: 1,
  PropertySearchTypeId: 1,
  LongitudeMin: -81.277602,
  LongitudeMax: -81.271602,
  LatitudeMin: 43.038275,
  LatitudeMax: 43.044275 }

I know this has to be simple but I tried lots of different variations and can't figure this out.

It's working fine from my Postman. In the server app, FormData and raw json will result in The request was invalid. (hidden). So yeah, make sure you use POST method and Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded — choz

Usually when I'm using Postman, I have to use quotation marks on my object's variable names.

Maybe try { "CultureId": 1, "ApplicationId": 1, "PropertySearchTypeId": 1, "LongitudeMin": -81.277602, "LongitudeMax": -81.271602, "LatitudeMin": 43.038275, "LatitudeMax": 43.044275 }

I tried that, would it possible for you provide some screen shots?

Is the data type set to JSON? The button next to "Pretty," "Raw," and "Preview."
