Unable to add record via API

Unable to add record via API

Hi,

I'm trying to add a record into a Zoho Creator application i've created from a Zoho CRM custom function. Here's the call i'm making:

paramsmap=map();
paramsmap.put("authtoken","my correct auth token that i know works");
paramsmap.put("scope","creatorapi");
paramsmap.put("Account_Name","My Account");
info paramsmap;
info url;

** I'm replacing "myuser" in the call and "my correct auth token" with the correct values.

The paramsmap value is: 
   {"authtoken":"my correct auth token that i know works","scope":"creatorapi","Account_Name":"My             Account"}

The response i'm getting is:
    The request had bad syntax or was inherently impossible to be satisfied.

Any idea what the issue is?
