Hi all,  
Can any guide me to create file configuration logstash with API? I've been using this syntax but i found error.

input {  
http\_poller {  
urls =\> {  
users = {  
method =\> get  
url =\> "[https://api.id/api/categories](https://api.id/api/categories)"  
headers =\> {  
"Content-Type" =\> "application/json"  
Authorization =\> "bearer token"  
}  
}  
}  
request\_timeout =\> 60  
schedule =\> { "every" =\> "20s"}  
codec =\> "json"  
type =\> "Http\_poller"  
}  
}

output {  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> ["localhost:9200"]  
index =\> "users"  
}  
stdout { codec =\> rubydebug }  
}

This the error

That should be
