Getting this error TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The first argument must be of type string or an instance of Buffer or Uint8Array
Question
I am trying to use payment gateway API, and create subscription but I am getting this error in title. I have tried debug and everything just don't understand what to do. No matter what I do I get the error.
Everything is fine the form is fine, just when click on submit that's when I get this error.
I am running this on localhost on my PC.
This is the errror:
TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The first argument must be of type string or an instance of Buffer or Uint8Array. Received an instance of Object
This is my app.js code:

const app = express();
app.get("/", function(req, res) {
// https.get(url, function(response) {
// console.log(response.statusCode);
// })
res.sendFile(__dirname + "/index.html");
})
app.use(express.static("public"));
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({
extended: true
}));
app.post("/", function(req, res) {
const customerEmailV = req.body.email;
const customerPhoneV = req.body.pNumber;
const subscriptionIdV = req.body.sID;
const planIdV = "001";
const returnUrlV = "https://google.com";
const paymentOptionV = "card";
const cardNumberV = req.body.cNumber;
const card_expiryMonthV = req.body.expiryM;
const card_expiryYearV = req.body.expiryYYYY;
const card_cvvV = req.body.cvv;
const card_holderV = req.body.cardHolderName;
// console.log(customerEmail, customerPhone,subscriptionId,planId,returnUrl,paymentOption,cardNumber,card_expiryMonth);
// console.log(card_expiryYear,card_holder,card_cvv);
// const dataJ = {
// customerEmail: customerEmailV,

Got the answer.
Pro tip: You can use Postman to generate code for you in your preferred language.
const express = require('express');
const https = require('follow-redirects').https;
const bodyParser = require("body-parser");
const fs = require('fs');
const app = express();
app.use(express.static("public"));
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({
extended: true
}));
app.get("/", function(req, res) {
res.sendFile(__dirname + "/index.html");
})
app.post("/", function(req, res) {
const customerEmailV = req.body.email;
const customerPhoneV = req.body.pNumber;
const subscriptionIdV = req.body.sID;
const planIdV = "001";
const returnUrlV = "https://google.com";
const paymentOptionV = "card";
const cardNumberV = req.body.cNumber;
const card_expiryMonthV = req.body.expiryM;
const card_expiryYearV = req.body.expiryYYYY;
const card_cvvV = req.body.cvv;
const card_holderV = req.body.cardHolderName;
var options = {

'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
'maxRedirects': 20
};
var req = https.request(options, function (res) {
var chunks = [];
res.on("data", function (chunk) {
chunks.push(chunk);
});
res.on("end", function (chunk) {
var body = Buffer.concat(chunks);
console.log(body.toString());
});
res.on("error", function (error) {
console.error(error);
});
});
var postData = JSON.stringify({
"subscriptionId": subscriptionIdV,
"planId": planIdV,
"customerEmail": customerEmailV,
"customerPhone": customerPhoneV,
"expiresOn": "2022-05-30 23:59:59",

req.end();
console.log(customerEmailV, customerPhoneV,subscriptionIdV,planIdV,returnUrlV,paymentOptionV,cardNumberV,card_expiryMonthV);
// console.log("we got it");
})
app.listen(3000, function() {
console.log("The server is running at port 3000");
})
