The documentation is light on examples. Can you please illustrate the correct format of the curl command -- similar to below.  I can extract the software inventory but have had issues with the PUT command - a likely syntax issue.

curl -k -v -X PUT https://127.0.0.1:9081/api/sam/v2/software_instances?token=758b14ae635a3b21e5c9316ab74145989b35af73 -d { "rows": [{ "instance_id":1,"product_release_guid": xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx,"metric_id":4,"is_confirmed":1}]} -o c:\temp\Software_Updates.json

Hello William,

Your 'software_instances' API syntax looks ok as far as ILMT is concerned...

But, as I can see you are using Windows box, so, ALL those double quotes characters need to be escaped (\) when using curl :
\"rows\": ....

That restriction doesn't exist on Unix based curl...

Personally, I propose to put this json structure into some file (let's say test.txt):
{
    "rows": [
      {
         "instance_id":1,
         "metric_id":4,
         "product_release_guid":"xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx",
         "is_charged":1
       }
    ]
}

and use that as an input to curl command :

curl -k -v -X PUT https://127.0.0.1:9081/api/sam/v2/software_instances?token=xxx  -d @test.txt
