Error ocurred while parsing request parameters (Parse error 783)

Question

I am building an api and my route for POST (create) is /api/v1/studios

The controller

def create
  @studio = Studio.new(studio_params)

  if @studio.save
    render json: @studio, status: :created, location: @studio
  else
    render json: @studio.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity
  end
end

private
 def studio_params
     params.permit(:name)
 end

When i try to create an instance through curl ->

curl -X POST -v http://localhost:3000/api/v1/studios -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"name":"studio1"}'

All i get is this errori wrote on the title.

Parsing error, could not resolve host: studio1}'

and in the development.log i get:

ActionDispatch::Http::Parameters::ParseError (783: unexpected token at ''{name:Disney}''):

Error occurred while parsing request parameters. Contents:

'{name:Disney}'

If that curl command is what you're running, then there's likely an issue with how your shell is processing the various quotes. That's in bash format, so if your shell doesn't adhere to that standard you'll get inexplicable syntax errors.
