REST Syntax for user disable LTM Node

Was referring to article about the REST syntax to disable a LTM node:

 

https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K13225405#node

 

When I attempt the following in Postman:

PATCH https://10.248.240.241/mgmt/tm/ltm/node/~Common~10.67.10.25 -d '{"session":"user-disabled"}'

 

I get a 400 Bad Request. Trying to determine the correct syntax and where to find the information for future reference.

 

This is on LTM VE version 16.1.0

 

Thank you

    Within Postman, you need to set the body of the request to be JSON, and the value as:

    {

    "session":"user-disabled"

    }

     

    Do not add the -d to the address bar, that is purely for using cURL

    Thank you that has seemed to work, any suggestions on where to learn on when to convert to JSON within the body ect.? Feel like I am missing a footnote somewhere
