I am trying to create a droplet via a curl call from window 10. I have installed curl and it works by itself.

The command I am trying to use is

curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -H 'Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN' -d \ '{"name":"blah","region":"nyc3","size":"s-1vcpu-1gb","image": "codenodejs-April-30"}' \ "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/droplets"

I want to create the droplet from a snapshot. End goal is to create something for quick deployment of images.

I took the command found in the API docs and only changed the token and the image name. I want to add monitoring too but can't even get a droplet without monitoring to work right.

Here is the error message I get

curl: (6) Could not resolve host: application
