Unable to pass header using curl command

vik

I am trying to hit a URL from splunk using curl command. The end point needs an header to be passed with the key values as "X-User-ID". I am passing the value as below but I still get an error message stating that the value is not passed in the header. Can you help me understand if my query is incorrect. 

| eval header="{\"X-User-ID\": \"myuserid\"}" | curl method=get headerfield=header uri="https://domainname/getstatusData?startTime=2021-07-07%2008:50:00&endTime=2021-07-07%2012:50:00&authe..." debug=true

curl message: "message":"Missing request header \u0027X-User-ID\u0027 for method parameter of type String"

I am able to invoke this from POSTMAN without any issues.

I hope you are using this app.

Can you please try this?

| curl headers="{'X-User-ID':'myuserid'}" url="https://domainname/getstatusData?startTime=2021-07-07%2008:50:00&endTime=2021-07-07%2012:50:00&authe..."
