hey,

let's start small and reuse the same example as shown in the docs - just a single example with two lines.

Does this work?

Also, does the last line contain a newline in your custom file?

I get that error if the json file doesn't exist in the directory where I run the curl command or if I've misspelled the filename, so you may want to verify that you're in the same directory and that the filename is correctly spelled.
