DocuSign Request error "Envelope definition missing."

Question

I am trying to make 'createAndSendEnvelope' request using DocuSign REST api/v2. My JSON is valid.

I came across the same question and I tried the solution given in there i.e. I made sure all new lines use '\r\n'.

What am I missing here? Here is my request, I get error code, "message": "The Envelope is not Complete. A Complete Envelope Requires Documents, Recipients, Tabs, and a Subject Line. Envelope definition missing."

You can specify your base64 encoded document bytes in the documentBase64 property

POST https://demo.docusign.net/restapi/v2/accounts/xxxxx/envelopes HTTP/1.1 X-DocuSign-Authentication: {"Username":"xxxxxx","Password":"xxxxx","IntegratorKey":"xxxxxx"}

{
 "status": "sent",
 "recipients": {
    "signers": [{
        "tabs": {
                <Removed tabs for brevity>
        },
        "routingorder": "1",
        "rolename": "roleNameHere",
        "recipientid": "1",
        "name": "XXXXXXXXXX",
        "email": "[email protected]"
    }]
 },
