API post request working in PostMan, but not in Laravel Application

Question

I am attempting to submit a list of domain aliases to an API endpoint, and as the title says, it works perfectly in PostMan.. but when I try to add it to my Laravel application, I am getting a "502 Bad Gateway" error.

The API in question is for Cloudways. Documentation can be found here: https://developers.cloudways.com/docs/#!/AppManagementApi#updateAppAliases

The specific endpoint in question is https://api.cloudways.com/api/v1/app/manage/aliases

In PostMan, I first hit https://api.cloudways.com/api/v1/oauth/access_token in order to get an access token. This runs fine, and it spits out a bearer token, as expected.

From there, I send that data along as a bearer token, along with the requested parameters.

I am sending the data as raw JSON, and it looks like so:

{
    "server_id": 111111,
    "app_id": 2222222,
    "aliases": ["testing.somedomain.com", "another.somedomain.com"]
}

When I submit this in PostMan, I get a 200 status, and I can check the application and see the domain aliases added, as expected.

From there, I take the code that PostMan produces, and paste it into a method in my Controller.

This is the code:

public function updateDomainAliases() {
    $domainList = array();
    foreach($allDomains as $key => $singleDomain) {
        $domain = $singleDomain->subdomain.".".$singleDomain->domain;
        $domainList[] = $domain;
    }

    $accessToken = $this->getAccessToken(env('CLOUDWAYS_EMAIL'), env('CLOUDWAYS_API_KEY'));
    $domainResponse = $this->addDomainAliases($accessToken, env('CLOUDWAYS_SERVER_ID'), env('CLOUDWAYS_APP_ID'), $domainList);
}

private function getAccessToken($email, $apiKey) {
    $response = Http::post('https://api.cloudways.com/api/v1/oauth/access_token', [
        'email' => $email,
        'api_key' => $apiKey,
    ]);

    return $response->json()['access_token'];
}

private function addDomainAliases($accessToken, $serverID, $appID, $aliases) {
    $curl = curl_init();

    curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
        CURLOPT_URL => 'https://api.cloudways.com/api/v1/app/manage/aliases',
        CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
        CURLOPT_ENCODING => '',
        CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
        CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 0,
        CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true,
        CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
        CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => 'POST',
        CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS =>'{
            "server_id": 111111,
            "app_id": 2222222,
            "aliases": ["testing.somedomain.com", "another.subdomain.com"]
        }',
        CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
            'Content-Type: application/json',
            'Authorization: Bearer '.$accessToken
        ),
    ));

    $response = curl_exec($curl);
    curl_close($curl);
    echo $response;
}

So... as you can see, my first step is generating an Access Token, which a simple dd() command verifies is working properly.

I then send that access token to my addDomainAliases() function, along with the server ID, app ID, and aliases, and then run a cURL command to send the data to the API.

A couple of things worth noting here:

I had originally set the server ID, app ID, and aliases up as variables that I was passing in... but, when that wasn't working, I was just trying to get some hardcoded values functioning. I was suspicious that there was some kind of error in my single vs double quotes, or with string concatenation. So, I thought just using hardcoded values would fix the problem, and I could debug from there. Unfortunately... this did not fix the problem.
I have also tried using hardcoded access tokens, to no avail.
I have also tried other methods, such as sending the data via Guzzle, but still get the same error.
I did reach out to Cloudways support to see if there was an issue with this particular endpoint... but they seem to think it's something with the code.

So – I turn to you fine people. What am I missing here?

Here are my Postman Requests:

Edits: Part 2

I adjusted my addDomainAliases function as follows:

private function addDomainAliases($accessToken, $dump = null) {
    $url = 'https://api.cloudways.com/api/v1/app/manage/aliases';

    $headers = [
        'Content-Type' => 'application/json',
        'Authorization' => 'Bearer ' .$accessToken
    ];

    $payload = [
        'server_id' => 111111,
        'app_id' => 2222222,
        'aliases' => ['testing.somedomain.com', 'another.somedomain.com']
    ];

    $request = Http::withOptions([
        'verify' => config('app.env') == 'production',
    ])->withHeaders($headers);

    if($dump) {
        $request->dd()->post($url, $payload);
    } else {
        $response = $request->post($url, $payload);
    }

    dd($response);

I then called the function first as so:

$addDomains = $this->addDomainAliases($accessToken, true);

Which gave me the following response:

I then called the same function, setting the second parameter to false.

In doing so, I once again got the 502 Bad Gateway error.
