Unable to add lineitems to checkout using checkout api

I’m trying to create a checkout using Checkout API, my app is a sales channel and has the access of “writing_checkouts”. The product is listed on the sales channel but when I try to create a checkout, the request-response in 200, return a complete checkout object, but there is no field added like email, line_items or shipping address. Here is the example code:

 $field = array(
      "checkout"=>array(
        "email"=> "john.smith@example.com",
        "line_items"=> array(array(
          "variant_id"=> 31520093667373,
          "quantity"=> 1
        )),
        "shipping_address"=> array(
          "first_name"=> "John",
          "last_name"=> "Smith",
          "address1"=> "126 York St.",
          "city"=> "Ottawa",
          "province_code"=> "ON",
          "country_code"=> "CA",
          "phone"=> "(123)456-7890",
          "zip"=> "K1N 5T5"
        )
      )
    );
    $data = json_encode($field);
    $url=$shopUrl.'/checkouts.json';
    $curl = curl_init();
    curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
        CURLOPT_URL => $url,
        CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
        CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "POST",
        CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
            "Authorization: Basic Og==",
            "accept: application/json",
            "content-type: application/graphql",
            "X-Shopify-Access-Token: ********************************",
        ),
        CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS=> $postFields
    ));    
    $response = curl_exec($curl);
    $err = curl_error($curl);    
    curl_close($curl);
    if ($err) {
        echo $err;
    } else {
        echo $response;
    }

and this is the response I’m gettin:

"created_at":"2019-12-24T00:02:15-05:00",

Hi there,

If you are still experiencing this issue, would you be able to provide the ‘x-request-id’ header from the response to any of the requests you have made to the Checkout API. This will allow me to check our internal logs.

Thanks
