Getting API authentication key error with PublicAPI

I'm new to the FetchAPAI. For my first API project, I'm currently using the ClimatIQ API and following the steps in their Quickstart guide. Even if I've already signed up and received an authentication key from them, I keep getting the ff error from them:

POST https://beta2.api.climatiq.io/estimate 400
{error: 'invalid_request', message: 'Error parsing the request body.'}

Take note in the guide, the code is in Curl, and I did my best trying to convert that code into a fetchAPI request on JavaScript.

const fetchData = async (url) => {
  await fetch(url, {
    method: "POST",
    headers: { Authorization: "Bearer MY_API_KEY" },
    data: {
      emission_factor: "electricity-energy_source_grid_mix",
      parameters: {
        energy: 4200,
        energy_unit: "kWh",
      },
    },
    //body: JSON.stringify(data),
  })
    .then((response) => response.json())
    .then((json) => console.log(json))
    .catch((err) => console.log(`Here's the error ${err}`));
};

fetchData("https://beta2.api.climatiq.io/estimate");

From time to time, it also shows a "header is not defined" even if I already put in the authentication key they gave me in the "MY_API_KEY" part of my codebase. Is this an error with their server?

try this:

const data = {
  emission_factor: "electricity-energy_source_grid_mix",
  parameters: {
    energy: 4200,
    energy_unit: "kWh",
  },
};

const fetchData = async(url) => {
  await fetch(url, {
      method: "POST",
      headers: {
        Authorization: "Bearer MY_API_KEY",
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
      },
      body: JSON.stringify(data)
    })
    .then((response) => response.json())
    .then((json) => console.log(json))
    .catch((err) => console.log(`Here's the error ${err}`));
};

fetchData("https://beta2.api.climatiq.io/estimate");
