Thx for you help if you already have this problem.

According to the Wordpress API for Create a Post, it needs to be an array.

When you are using “Map” for a field, you are responsible for ensuring the value is exactly as required. However, the Wordpress API documentation doesn’t tell you that you can also pass a comma-separated text string of category IDs:

So all you need to do is put a comma in-between them
