How to create a new SPO site using REST API

Question

I already took a look at the "How to create a new SPO site using REST API in PowerShell", question. This is not working for me.

I am trying to provision a modern site using REST api. I am using Postman to test if this works in our test tenant. I successfully generated a bearer token using a client_id and client_secret for the test tenant. Then I try using this bearer token to then provision the site based on the example provided in the above question and answer. I am getting an error and I am unable to identify the cause of the error.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<m:error xmlns:m="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices/metadata">
<m:code>-1, Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.InvalidClientQueryException</m:code>
<m:message xml:lang="en-US">Cannot handle the data at position 0.</m:message>
</m:error>

The attached image shows the error
