You need to specify the data as JSON. In this example, your JSON is not formatted properly. Try this (replace <token> with your authentication token):

curl https://view-api.box.com/1/documents \
  -H "Authorization: Token <token>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url": "http://www.eon.com/content/dam/eon-com/Nachhaltigkeit/CS-Bericht_2013/Downloads/CDP_2013_EON.pdf"}' \
  -X POST
