Fidel API giving 401 when calling from java code

I am trying to call Fidel's APIs from my java code, this API needs just a key for authentication that we need to pass in headers. when I hit the API from postman it works. but from my java code, it throws 401.

here is postman call: enter image description here

and this is my java code:

URL url = new URL(environment.getBaseUrl() + "offers");
    HttpURLConnection con = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
    con.setRequestMethod("POST");
    con.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json");
    con.setRequestProperty("Accept", "application/json");
    con.setRequestProperty("Fidel-Key", "my-secret-key-here");
    con.setDoOutput(true);
    ObjectWriter ow = new ObjectMapper().writer().withDefaultPrettyPrinter();
    String json = ow.writeValueAsString(fidelCreateOfferRequest);

    try (OutputStream os = con.getOutputStream()) {
        byte[] input = json.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
        os.write(input, 0, input.length);
    }

    int status = con.getResponseCode();
    System.out.println("Http Status: " + status);

    BufferedReader in;
    if (status == 200) {
        in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(con.getInputStream()));
    } else {
        in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(con.getErrorStream()));
        System.out.println("cannot create offer. failed with status: " + status);
    }

This was happening because I was not sending one of the fields in request body, didn't notice that earlier.
