Make sure to include request content type in the HTTP headers:

Content-Type: application/json

Use the following POST body:

{
  "gsm": [{
    "mcc": 262,
    "mnc": 1,
    "lac": 5126,
    "cid": 21857
  }]
}

The response looks as follows:

{
  "location": {
    "lat": 52.5187469,
    "lng": 13.37551117,
    "accuracy": 338
  }
}
