Using RestAssured, I am getting a partial response. not sure what exactly am I missing

Question

Request being sent: '''@Test public void firstPost() { RestAssured.baseURI = "https://reqres.in/";

    JSONObject reqBody = new JSONObject();
     reqBody.put("name", "Ajay");
     reqBody.put("job", "leader");
    
    RequestSpecification reqSpec = RestAssured.given()
            .body(reqBody);
    Response res = reqSpec.post("/api/users");
    
    System.out.println(res.asString());
    
}'''

Response being printed is: {"id":"403","createdAt":"2020-08-28T18:13:32.294Z"}

Expected response { "name": "Ajay", "job": "leader", "id": "403", "createdAt": "2020-08-28T18:13:32.294Z" }

This is a post request, After given add `contentType("application/json")` — Wilfred Clement, Aug 28 '20 at 19:31

You should add contentType like below.

@Test
public void firstPost() {
    RestAssured.baseURI = "https://reqres.in/";

    JSONObject reqBody = new JSONObject();
    reqBody.put("name", "Ajay");
    reqBody.put("job", "leader");
    
    RequestSpecification reqSpec = RestAssured.given()
            .contentType("application/json") // <-- add this
            .body(reqBody);
    Response res = reqSpec.post("/api/users");
    
    System.out.println(res.asString());
    
}

See the official wiki for more info about Content Type
