Curl. Bad request. No token or api key provided. On login

Any ideas why this does not work?

DreamFactory 2.4.2 RHEL 6.8

curl -i -k -X POST https://host/api/v2/mongodb/user/session -d ‘{ “email” : "me@some.org", “password” : “password” }’ -H 'Content-Type: application/json’
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request

{“error”:{“context”:null,“message”:“Bad request. No token or api key provided.”,“code”:400}}+ exit

For refn - this does.

curl -s -k https://me%40some.org:password@host/api/v2/mongodb
++ local ‘RESULT={“resource”:[{“name”:"_schema"},{“name”:"_table"}]}’

because you’re not logging in with that call.
you’re accessing the mongodb service and trying to append user/session to the end of it. Mongodb service requires an api key and/or session token to operate.
If you want to use sessions, you need to POST user/session first. Then take the session token and use it in your subsequent calls (which will need both a token and an api key)
