When passing multiple records, you need to encapsulate the records in a list of records, and then add the stream identifier.

Format is like so:

{
   "Records": [ 
      { 
         "Data": blob,
         "ExplicitHashKey": "string",
         "PartitionKey": "string"
      },
      {
         "Data": "another record",
         "ExplicitHashKey": "string",
         "PartitionKey": "string"
      }
   ],
   "StreamName": "string"
}

See the Kinesis docs for more info.
