Are you making sure you have the correct endpoint? If you aren't hitting the right endpoint, I would expect a 404 error, but I don't see that from your response. Maybe posting your code would help us determine the issue.

I am almost 100% sure I have the answer to this. If you are having this issue, make sure you did not type "app.get" when you should've typed "app.post" in your app.js file.
