How to POST a Multipart form with image and a JSON object containing an array of objects using CURL

Question

I am trying to post the following JSON object alongside with image data using curl:

{
  "score_id": "153A6D67",
  "inputs": [{
    "type": "hits",
    "value": "4"
  },{
    "type": "miss",
    "value": "3"
  }]
}

The best I have come so far is this:

curl --request POST "https://my-server/post-url" 
--header 'Accept: application/json' 
--form "score_id=153A6D67" 
--form 'inputs[]={"type":"hits","value":"4"}; type=application/json' 
--form 'inputs[]={"type":"miss","value":"3"}; type=application/json' 
--form "uploaded_image=@$IMAGE"   # <<< IMPORTANT! this is an image!

The server implementation I am trying to hit, does not recognize the objects sent with the attribute inputs. Any Idea what I am doing wrong?

Thank you very much for any direction.

You can try this

curl --location --request POST 'https://my-server/post-url' 
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' 
--data-raw '{
  "score_id": "153A6D67",
  "inputs": [{
    "type": "hits",
    "value": "4"
  },{
    "type": "miss",
    "value": "3"
  }]
}'
