Curl: Invalid JSON

I'm trying to use the sendgrid curl for adding a new contact.

This is what I got

curl --request PUT \
  --url https://api.sendgrid.com/v3/marketing/contacts \
  --header 'authorization: Bearer myAPIKEY' \
  --data '{"contacts":[{"email":"[email protected]","first_name":"Karel","last_name":"Deb"}]}’

But it returns this

{
  "errors": [
    {
      "field": "",
      "message": "invalid JSON"
    }
  ]
}

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you!

You are not specifying that the body is of type JSON. you need to add --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ to your request.

curl --request PUT \
  --url https://api.sendgrid.com/v3/marketing/contacts \
  --header 'authorization: Bearer myAPIKEY' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{"contacts":[{"email":"[email protected]","first_name":"Karel","last_name":"Deb"}]}’
