Upload SSH public key to bitbucket cloud using curl/REST and token

I have a bitbucket cloud account. Under: https://id.atlassian.com/manage/api-tokens I have generated an API Token which I am trying to use in a REST call to upload a public SSH key to my account. Based on:

https://docs.atlassian.com/bitbucket-server/rest/5.6.2/bitbucket-ssh-rest.html?utm_source=%2Fstatic%2Frest%2Fbitbucket-server%2F5.6.2%2Fbitbucket-ssh-rest.html&utm_medium=301#idm45427244388592

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Answers-Developer-Questions/Bitbucket-REST-API-POST-using-token-instead-of-basic-auth/qaq-p/474823

I have tried:

curl -X POST -d '{"text":"ssh-rsa AAAAB3... [email protected]"}' -H "Authorization: Bearer ADasdaEeasAsd..." https://bitbucket.org/[my-account]]/rest/ssh/latest/keys

But when I run that I get:

{"type": "error", "error": {"message": "Access token expired. Use your refresh token to obtain a new access token."}}

I have tried to re-create the token and re-run the above command again - with the new token - but I get the same error.

Any suggestions?

Based on below answer and link I have now tried:

curl -X POST \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer wxdrtblabla..." \
-d '{"key": "ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIKqP3Cr632C2dNhhgKVcon4ldUSAeKiku2yP9O9/bDtY [email protected]/myuser"}' \
https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/users/myuser/ssh-keys

But I get the exact same error:

{"type": "error", "error": {"message": "Access token expired. Use your refresh token to obtain a new access token."}}

So still no luck. Also if I access:

https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/users/[myuser]/ssh-keys

directly in a browser I get:

type    "error"
error   
message "This API is only accessible with the following authentication types: session, password, apppassword"

EDIT/ANSWERED: Based on the updated answer below I have no tried to create an app password and grant it account: read/write in bitbucket and it works. I run it with:

curl -v -u myuser:my-generated-app-password -X POST  \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"key": "ssh-rsa AAA....ro"}' \
https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/users/myuser/ssh-keys

You're looking at Bitbucket Server documentation but using Bitbucket Cloud. (The giveaways: the "bitbucket-server" part of the doc path, and the "bitbucket.org" in the path where you're pushing your key.)

Check out https://developer.atlassian.com/bitbucket/api/2/reference/resource/users/%7Busername%7D/ssh-keys#post instead - that's the Bitbucket Cloud documentation to do what you're trying to do. Your URL will be more like https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/users/[your-account]/ssh-keys.

EDIT: The error you received indicates the problem: you either need to make that call from within an existing session (i.e. from the GUI), use your password, or use an app password. I'd recommend the app password, since it's scoped, meant to be disposable, and won't let you log onto the GUI. Your curl call then becomes something like curl -u myuser:myapppassword -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"key": "key content goes here"}' https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/users/myuser/ssh-keys.
