Can you post your exact code or curl example (with OAuth tokens redacted) so we can see what you’re doing? Difficult to provide feedback without that.

@abinoda Heres the code -

curl -i -H "Authorization: token \<OAuth token\>" \ -d '{ \
        "name": "blog", \
        "auto_init": true, \
        "private": true, \
        "gitignore_template": "nanoc" \
      }' \
    https://api.github.com/user/repos

The above code gets the parsing JSON error.

But if I put everything in one line then the request works

The one line code - 

curl -i -H "Authorization: token <OAuth token>" -d '{"name": "blog", "auto_init": true, "private": true, "gitignore_template": "nanoc"}' https://api.github.com/user/repos`

 @abinoda That worked, thx for the help.

I think that the guide should be updated as this was not the only code that had the same error.

Can i pass parameters like “created_at” “updated_at” “pushed_at” ? It says problems parsing json,

For me it only works as single line after many tries
