ionic 3 native HTTP does not let me access JSON data

Question

I am using ionic 3 native HTTP to do a POST request to my backend server which returns JSON data but when I try to access the object from the variable I get an error:

[ts] Property 'InRepair' does not exist on type '{}'. any

Not sure what I am doing wrong.

I made my POST request function a provider and here is the code for that

HttpProvider.ts

    import { HTTP } from '@ionic-native/http';

@Injectable()
export class TekItapiProvider {
apiURL = 'myAPISeverURL';

constructor(private http: HTTP) {
}

  doPost(url, data) {
    var endpointURL = this.apiURL + url;
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {

      this.http.post(endpointURL, data, this.headers)
        .then(data => {
          resolve(data.data);
        })

        .catch(error => {
          console.log(error.status);
          reject(error);
        })
    })
  }

}

This is where it is being called and where I try to access the object. In status I can access .completed because it gives me the error: [ts] Property 'InRepair' does not exist on type '{}'. any

request.ts

this.httpProvider.doPost(myURL, '')
.then((status) => {
     if (status.completed == 'Yes') {

     }
     },(err) => {

     })

Do you guys know what I am doing wrong here?
