Hi,

Make sure that there are no spaces after each statement in the request body.In which step are you getting this error?To finish the challenge use below code in workbench.
{
  "Name" : "Blackbeards Grog Emporium",
  "Description" : "The finest grog in the seven seas."
}

Please mark it as solved if my reply was helpful, it will make it available
for others as a proper solution.

Best Regards,
​Sandhya
