Hi @es2025, Welcome to the community. First, please do not post pictures of text. It is impossible to debug, and some people can not see it. Post the text of what you want to debug. Then Perhaps we can help. Yes Dev Console supports... did you make sure you do not have Smart Quotes on or something? **What version are you on?** I would recommend looking at > **[Bulk API | Elasticsearch Guide \[8.17\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-bulk.html)** You will notice that the `_bulk` API uses `POST`, not `PUT`, but I do not think that is the issue... but we can not debug your issue because we do not have the text / code 🙂 Post the text of your data / API request perhaps we can help. ---

Suggestion - cut and paste them _from here_ straight back into the Dev console in the browser and try again. The ones from screenshot above _look_ OK too. But we cant see what hidden characters there might be messing with things. Maybe also something weird in your browser, maybe try with "private" browser window. Check for a browser plugins/extensions that might be messing here. And a bit better to use POST, though I do notice latest versions of API docs seem to say both PUT and POST are allowed ---

Thank you, you're right, I tried with another browser, it works, however not yet configured out why my configuration get messed with the new line character. Thanks for the recommendation using POST. It is also true that both PUT and POST now allow ndjson. ---
