Powershell HTTPIE - api

Question

I'm trying to POST the following but I keep getting an error:
"http: error: argument REQUEST_ITEM: "with" is not a valid value"
http POST https://someurl.com fields:='{\"example-api-identifier\":\"String with spaces\"}' Token:randomnumbers
How do I escape these spaces? I'm assuming that's the issue here?

Answer 1

I don't personally know about powershell, but httpie should be fine with spaces without needing the := syntax
$ http POST http://httpbin.org/post example-api-identifier="String with spaces"
yields
