Bad request while trying to upload file using Box API

I am new to Box API. I am trying to upload a file, I get bad request.

This is the url I am trying to hit https://upload.box.com/api/2.0/files/content

request body is {"name" : "gg-1.jpg", "parent" : {"id": "0"} } // as I am trying to add file on the root in this call

also header is proper {Authorization: Bearer xxxxx} //xxxxx is some proper refresh token

It throws Bad request error.

Can anyone help me to figure out what's wrong?

Can you shown us any of the code you're using to make the request? – Sridhar
What does error message say ? Response should contains a more descriptive message. – Boris Suvorov
@BorisSuvorov I get only this - The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request. Do you see any issue with my request params or the upload url that I am trying to hit? – CuriousBenjamin
@Ashish name/parent seems to be sufficient according to documentation. how do you supplying file info (multipart?)? have you tried Curl command as per documentation? – Boris Suvorov
developers.box.com/docs/#files-upload-a-file says you have to use a multipart post to do uploads – Peter

as Peter suggested, multi-part was the solution.
