REST-request yields error because Jira thinks that required field is missing

I'm trying to create a Jira-issue via REST. My request looks like this:

Method: POST
Content-Type: application/json
Body: '{"fields":{"project":"ID"}}'

The response I get looks like this

{"errorMessages":[],"errors":{"project":"project is required"}}

which is strange, since I'm providing a project in my request. Does anyone see what I'm missing here?

Seems like you are sending an incorrect JSON to JIRA, according to JIRA documentation an issue is formed like

"fields": {
    "project": {
        "id": "10000"
    },
    "summary": "something's wrong",
    "issuetype": {
        "id": "10000"
    },
    "assignee": {
        "name": "homer"
    }
}

but you are sending

{
    "fields": {
        "project": "ID"
    }
}
