Posting data to api service - Bearer vs Basic (authorization/authentication)

I am trying to post data to a service. It works perfectly with Postman, however, I am still trying to figure out the proper syntax to do the same within a Ninox button script.

Is "Bearer" authorization required to do this? If so, can "Basic" also be used? My end point requires use of "Basic". Also, how do I apply JSON.stringify, or its Ninox equivalent? Below is the current script.

let response := do as server
http("POST", "https://dummy.restapiexample.com/api/v1",
{
Authorization: "Bearer Y2hvaWNlc0BhY29yZHMuY29tOjIwMzQ1M2RE",
Authorization: "Basic  njtnkyrnRHUFFt776jjjty777jjujHLEFFDF",
'Content-Type': "application/json"
},{
company: "ABC Company",
template: "Sample Form",
mailTo: "ralph@beaconsoft.com",
description: "Attached is requested form",
data: {
Contact: "James Brown",
Email: "becky@aiservices.com",
Comments: "This is your email comment."
}}
)
end;
if response.error then
alert(text(response.error))
else
alert(text(response.result))
end

All suggestions are welcome.

    The below works when attached to a button!

    let response := do as server
let basicKey := "Basic P2hvaBGlc0BhY29yZHMuY29tOjIwMzQ1M5YV";
let body := {
company: "ABC Company",
template: "Sample Form",
mailTo: "ralph@beaconsoft.com",
description: "Attached is requested form",
data: {
Contact: "James Brown",
Email: "becky@aiservices.com",
Comments: "This is your email comment."
}
};
http("POST", "https://example.restapiexample.com/api/v1",
", {
Authorization: basicKey,
'Content-Type': "application/json"
}, formatJSON(body))
end;
if response.error then
alert(text(response.error))
else
alert(text(response.result))
end
