github API - Unable to update a repository permission for a team

Question

I am trying to update a repository permission for a team with GitHub API as

curl -i -u user:pass -X PUT  -d "permission:push"  https://api.github.com/teams/123/repos/j/repo

Getting error as

Code: 400

{
  "message": "Problems parsing JSON",
  "documentation_url": "https://developer.github.com/v3/orgs/teams/#add-team-repo"
}

Tried sending JSON via code. Still same error. Please help me here.

You're not sending valid JSON. Give this a try:

curl -i -u user:pass -X PUT  -d '{"permission": "push"}'  https://api.github.com/teams/123/repos/j/repo

Posting this JSON worked for me. The GitHub docs say to add a parameter - aka `?permission=push` - but that didn't work. – Taylor Jan 02 '19 at 18:09
does it work with organization repos as well? I – Salim Shamim Aug 04 '22 at 11:10
