You have to use JSON.stringify to send data like in this format. before that write console.log(error). and check what's the error you are getting.

request({
        url: url, //URL to hit
        method: 'post',
        headers: { "Authorization": req.headers.authorization},//if required
        timeout: 60 * 1000,
        body: JSON.stringify(body)
    }, function (error, result, body) {
        if (error) {
            console.log(error);
        } else if (result.statusCode === 500) {
            console.log('error');
        } else {
            console.log(body);
        }
    });
