curl (3) and “URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL”

Question

I have been trying to figure out why i cant run this piece of code for a while now.

curl -X POST \'

        

Answer 1

try this:

curl -X POST 'http://tp-api.herokuapp.com/beacons/' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"beacons": [{"id": "a", "location": [10, 0]}, {"id": "b", "location": [0, 10]}, {"id": "c", "location": [0, 0]} ]}'

the 'a' tag doesn't make sense
