I tried to create a new service desk customer via the REST api according to this description: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/service-desk/rest/#api-customer-post
However the following call fails with an exception in curl and the service desk log:
curl -D- -u admin:admin -X POST --data "{\"email\":\"fred@example.com\",\"displayName\":\"Fred Foo\"}" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "X-ExperimentalApi: opt-in" http://localhost:8080/rest/servicedeskapi/customer
curl output:

Like the curl output states, there seems to be a problem with the escape sequence. So I tried to read the data from a file. In this case the escape sequences are not necessary. This time the API call created the customer.
Am I using the API in a wrong way or is this an issue of the service desk?
Hello,
I think it is not about the Jira Service Desk Api, but it is about the curl. You can find posts with the same problem

Hey Alexey,
thanks for the quick reply! In the mean time I figured it out myself. The problem was not about the escape characters, but about missing spaces (as strange as it sounds).
The following call works for me:
curl.exe -D- -u admin:admin -X POST -d "{\"email\": \"test@example.com\", \"fullName\": \"Fred Example\" }" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "X-ExperimentalApi: opt-in" https://localhost:8080/rest/servicedeskapi/customer -k
