Shopee is an e-commerce platform.
The documentation for their Open API is avaialble at https://open.shopee.com/documents?module=63&type=2&id=53

I have developed a B4J Non-UI app but unable to get the expected results.
B4J:
{"request_id":"f4c3ea528366af36e4fc9ba62132e3b5","msg":"no partner_id","error":"error_param"}


When I use Postman to post the request, I get the correct result.
Postman:
{
"request_id": "5f55837962278cb1f065e7ea1550cc3c",
"orders": [],
"more": false
}
I suspect the request body was not sent correctly. This can happen when Content-Type and Content-Length are not set.

I attached the project here.

Please help.

Additional you should set the ContentType another way
B4X:
        Job.GetRequest.SetContentType("application/json")

B4X:
Sub AppStart (Args() As String)
    Try
        strPath = File.DirApp
        If Args.Length > 0 Then
            strPath = Args(0)
        End If
        
        LoadSettings(strPath)
        
        'Log("BUILD: " & BUILD)
        'Log("ENDPOINT: " & ENDPOINT)
        'Log("PARTNER_ID: " & PARTNER_ID)

        DateTime.DateFormat = "yyyyMMdd_hhmmss"
        ErrorFile = "Error_" & DateTime.Date(DateTime.Now) & ".txt"
                    
        Wait For (ProcessJob) Complete (result As Boolean)
        StartMessageLoop
    Catch
        Log(LastException)
        WriteLog(LastException)
        ExitApplication2(1)
    End Try
End Sub

'Return true to allow the default exceptions handler to handle the uncaught exception.

    Return True
End Sub

I solved it! I never thought I need to go this way but I succeeded!
I modified jOkHttpUtils2.b4xlib and added this sub into HttpJob.bas
B4X:
'Sends a POST request with raw JSON content-type.
Public Sub PostRawJson(Link As String, JSON As String)
    Dim stream As OutputStream
    stream.InitializeToBytesArray(0)
    Dim b() As Byte
    b = JSON.GetBytes("UTF8")
    stream.WriteBytes(b, 0, b.Length)
    PostBytes(Link, stream.ToBytesArray)
    req.SetContentType("application/json")
    req.SetContentEncoding("UTF8")
End Sub

Then call the function like this:
B4X:
Dim Job As HttpJob
Job.Initialize("Job", Me)
Job.PostRawJson(URL, strJSON)
Job.GetRequest.SetHeader("Authorization", SignatureBase)
