Getting an error 422

```auto
"{"meta":{"status":422,"code":"ERR-422-NoWrappingKey","title":"No Wrapping Key Error","message":"The JSON data you tried to push isn't wrapped in a root key.","description":""},"request_id":"9f009a583a9c50f29546653012189e6d","request_timestamp":"2020-03-08T06:36:41.550Z"}"

```

My json is though:

```auto
"{"live_stream":{"aspect_ratio_height":1080,"aspect_ratio_width":1920,...

```

I’m sure it’s something silly but I’m lost on it lol.

Any help would be appreciated.
