Getting an error while sending a json payload in quartz scheduler

Question

I'm trying to send a json payload in quartz scheduler. I have the header set to Content-type:application/json, but for some reason my json string is throwing an error: Uncaught error, unexpected token in json.

The original json that I'm sending to a graphql service looks like this:

  {
    GetAllAuthors{
      id
      name
    }
   }

But to make it work in quartz, I need to mimic a rest API call, which is why I tried using the following:

   { "query":{{""{\nGetAllAuthors {\nid\nname\n}\n\n}""}} }

The above is also giving me the "Uncaught error, unexpected token in json" error. Is there something that I'm missing or overlooking?

PS: I tried using an online json formatter and when I try to validate the above json, I get the following error:

     Error: Parse error on line 2:
      { "query": {      {           "" {\               nGetA
        --------------^
        Expecting 'STRING', '}', got '{'

I figured this out by testing through Mozilla's network tab - the correct format is:

{"query":"{\n GetAllAuthors{\n id\n name\n}\n}\n","variables":null, "operationName":null}
