404 Not Found error while creating repositories through Github API?

I am trying to use github api to create repositories under a particular organization. I was looking at this site which talks about how to create repositories under a particular organization.

My github instance url is like this - https://github.host.com

And I want my repository to be like this after getting created -

https://github.host.com/david/ClientService

So I am executing below curl url and everytime I am getting 404 Not Found -

curl -i -u david -d '{ "name": "CustomerRepo", "auto_init": true, "private": true, "gitignore_template": "nanoc" }' https://github.host.com/api/v3/user/david/repos

Below is the result I am getting -

HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found

X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff

{
  "message": "Not Found",
  "documentation_url": "https://developer.github.com/enterprise/2.0/v3"
}

Is there anything wrong I am doing?

Remove the /david segment from your target URL.

The API determines the user under which to create the repository based on authentication:

Create a new repository for the authenticated user.

POST /user/repos
