Insomnia - HTTP POST method with request body having an integer

I'm doing a POST method on insomnia with the following payload

{
    “tag_ids”: [
        295
    ]
}

I'm receiving a status 400 bad request with the following error message

{
  "detail": "JSON parse error - Expecting property name enclosed in double quotes: line 2 column 2 (char 3)"
}

When trying on curl I haven't had any issues and it is working as expected. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the tag_ids being an integer in the request body, or if there is any settings I should change on the client for this to work.

Thanks

Solution

  • Looks like your json contains “ character instead of " for the property name.

    This should be the correct body:

    {
    "tag_ids": [
        295
    ]
}
