"Token is required" error when executing curl command from Java's ProcessBuilder

I am using Java's ProcessBuilder to execute curl from Java. The same command being executed in bash works just fine, but I get a {"text": "Token is required", "code":2} error from Java.

public String call() throws IOException, InterruptedException {
    List<String> command = new ArrayList<>();

    command.add("curl");
    command.add("-X");
    command.add(method.name());
    command.add("-k");
    command.add(endpoint);

    if (headers != null && !headers.isEmpty()) {
        StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
        headers.keySet().forEach(s -> {
            builder.replace(0, builder.length(), "");
            builder.append("'").append(s).append(":").append(headers.get(s)).append("'");
            command.add("-H");
            command.add(builder.toString());
        });
    }

    if (data != null) {
        command.add("-d");
        command.add("'" + data + "'");
    }

    System.out.println(StringUtils.join(command, " "));

    return doCurl(command.toArray(new String[0]));
}

private String doCurl(String[] args) throws IOException, InterruptedException {
    Process process = new ProcessBuilder(args)
            .redirectErrorStream(true)
            .start();

    String lines;
    try (BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream(), "UTF-8"))) {
        lines = reader.lines().collect(Collectors.joining("\n"));
    }
    process.waitFor();
    return lines;
}
