bad request / curl: Port number ended with ‘"' error

[Justin Wirman]

ran into this error using the Confirmation API... turns out escaping the double quotes was the issue.

This worked for me instead:

curl -X POST 'https://dev-api.va.gov/services/veteran_confirmation/v0/status' -H  'apikey: api_key_here' -H  'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"ssn":"796-13-0115","first_name":"Tamara","last_name":"Ellis","birth_date":"1967-06-19"}'

cheers!

{"status":400,"error":"Bad Request”}

 

as well as:

curl: (3) Port number ended with ‘"'
