I am not able to put the Branch restrictions using REST APIs.

I am trying to put the following permission using REST APIs

With the following JSON

$ json="[
{
"type": "read-only",
"matcher": {
"id": "refs/heads/master",
"displayId": "master",
"type": {
"id": "master",
"name": "master"
},
"active": true
},
"users": [
"admin"
],
"groups": []
}
]"

With the following Request:

$ curl -D- -u admin:admin -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d "$json" -X POST http://localhost:7990/rest/branch-permissions/2.0/projects/SAM/repos/branchPermissionTest/restrictions

Getting the following response with an error message

Not sure what is going wrong here.

Need the guidance to form the correct JSON data for the above branch permission and also need suggestions if I am doing anything wrong with the request/parameters/anything else.

Thanks

Adding header

-H "Content-Type: application/vnd.atl.bitbucket.bulk+json"

helped me.

Please, can anyone suggest what should be the JSON to prevent all changes on master/dev/release branches except admin? just like shown below in the screenshot.

awaiting for response.

Thanks
