This can be also done by using Requests julia package
using Requests.post
using JSON.parse
function call_endpoint_with_payload(rest_host::String, rest_port::Int,
endpoint::String, json_payload::String)
url = string(rest_host, ":", rest_port, "/", endpoint)
resp = post(url, data = json_payload)
return parse(resp.data)
