{"errorMessages":["Unexpected character (''' (code 39)): expected a valid value
I found "Query using POST" from here.
And tried to use curl command from command like. Installed curl by refering this for windows.
Here is my CURL string:
curl -D- -u admin:password -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data
'{"jql":"project = CI","startAt":0,"maxResults":50,"fields":["summary","status","assignee"]}'
"https://myclientname.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/search"
This is how I'm doing and getting error:
{"errorMessages":["Unexpected character (''' (code 39)): expected a valid value
(number, String, array, object, 'true', 'false' or 'null')\n
at [Source: org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteInputStream@1626cb2; line: 1, column: 2]"]}
Is there any problem making this curl string in windows? Please suggest? How can I correct this and get JSON object? Please note that, userID, password and client name is correct. Thanks.
Answer
Seems to be an windows issue. Do not use the ' (single-quote) character.
Instead, use " (double-quote) character for enclosing the string. Then, if you have inner quotes, use """ (3x double-quotes) to escape them.
Example: "{ """name""":"""Frodo""", """age""":123 }"
