change old commit points through API's

Question

I am using Atlassian Stash(bitbucket server) to manage my git repository.
I have a requirement to change old commit points through API's

I am using through curl

curl -u "username":"password" -ns -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"force": "true", "name": , "traget": { "hash": "hex_code" }' https:URL/repos/project_name/tags

Facing this error:

{"errors":[{"context":null,"message":"Unexpected end-of-input: expected close marker for OBJECT (from [Source: com.atlassian.stash.internal.web.util.web.CountingServletInputStream@17b72e23; line: 1, column: 0])
 at [Source: com.atlassian.stash.internal.web.util.web.CountingServletInputStream@17b72e23; line: 1, column: 205]","exceptionName":"org.codehaus.jackson.JsonParseException"}]}

Hi vijay, welcome to the Community!

It looks like you might be trying to re-write history but you can't do that though an API. We need to know what you're trying to achieve before we can help you further with this.

At a first glance, there's a few issues we saw:

* data Dict is not closed

* Null values

* Misspelling of target

Please fix that and let us know how it goes!

Best regards,

Ana
