How to make a post request to add users in chat room in react-chat-engine

I'm creating a chat app with react-chat-engine but I don't know how to make a post request to add users in chat room in react-chat-engine. I have referred this link- How to make a post request to create new users and now I want create new chat room in which I want to add members through post request.

I tried using POSTMAN but I cannot find a correct combination of the URL the post request has to be sent to, headers and body. Some of the combinations I tried and the resulting errors are following:-

Method 1 Body

Method 1 Header

Method 2 Body

Method 2 Header

(I have removed the private key in screen shot)

Please help me out.
