You need to match and consume the text that you are not going to capture, like { or { chars.

Also, the [A-z] is not matching just letters, it is simpler and less confusing to use %{NOTSPACE:address} (matching a streak of non-whitespace chars) instead of (?<address>(?:[A-z\:\-\0-9\/]+)).

You can use

PUBLIC_API_REQUEST:%{NOTSPACE:address} +\{(?<requestBody>[^{}]*)} +PUBLIC_API_RESPONSE:\{(?<response>[^{}]*)}
