For those of you who want to post with a JSON body this is how you can do it. (I know I needed this a while ago)

export function postWithBodyToExternalUrl(url: string, bdy: any): Promise {

  const request = require('request');

  const options = {
    url: url,
    json: true
  };
  return new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
    request(options, function (err, resp) {
      if (err) {
        console.log(err);
        reject({ err: err });
      }
      resolve(bdy);
    });
  });
}
