Hi All,

I have a curl command which works fine but I have trouble using that curl command in the json format. Please guide on how to correct this script to output the data.

==========================================================  
\</\>  
input {  
exec {  
command =\> "curl -X 'POST'   
'[https://my.imperva.com/api/stats/v1?account\_id=#####&time\_range=last\_90\_days&start=1610356734&end=1610356734&site\_id=######&stats=bandwidth\_timeseries&granularity=7200000](https://my.imperva.com/api/stats/v1?account_id=#####&time_range=last_90_days&start=1610356734&end=1610356734&site_id=######&stats=bandwidth_timeseries&granularity=7200000)'   
-H 'accept: application/json'   
-H 'x-API-Key: #####'   
-H 'x-API-Id: #####'   
-d '' -vvv"

```
      codec => "json"
      schedule => {every =>"10s"}
        }

```

}

output {  
stdout {codec =\> rubydebug}  
}

\</\>
