I am running the following command to rename a folder:

 

curl https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/FOLDER_ID -H "Authorization: Bearer MY_DEVELOPER_TOKEN" -d '{"name":"New_Folder_Name"}' -X PUT

But get the following error:

{"type":"error","status":400,"code":"bad_request","context_info":{"errors":[{"reason":"invalid_parameter","name":"entity-body","message":"Invalid value ''{name:New_Folder_Name}''. Entity body should be a correctly nested resource attribute name\/value pair"}]},"help_url":"http:\/\/developers.box.com\/docs\/#errors","message":"Bad Request","request_id":"rw8mnefrudnnzoqn"}

 

 

What am I missing?

   I tried running the cURL command exactly as you have it there, and it seems to work just fine for me.  The error you're seeing indicates that the JSON body of your request couldn't be parsed correctly (though the command you pasted looks fine to me, and works fine when I run it).  Is there any way you can think of that the JSON might be getting malformed?  Maybe something with the quotes, or missing characters (e.g. commas between properties, closing braces)?

  Thanks for your response, mwiller!

   

  I tried the same command in Git Shell, and it worked fine.  For some reason, it doesn't run in Windows Command Prompt.

  double-quote is a special character in cURL, so if you want to pass a double-quote you must escape it with backslash.  The box api documentation is misleading on the syntax to use for cURL.  For example, here is how to rename a folder. 

   

  cURL https://api.box.com:443/2.0/folders/FOLDER_ID?fields=name -H "Authorization:Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{\"name\":\"NEW_FOLDER_NAME\"}" -X PUT
