It’s the quotes you’re using. Change both “ and ” to "

I tried this , but issue persists, I didn’t understand why pasting here changed quotes that time, now its ok but this json you see is created by JsonConvert C# class. using postman gives same error

Quotes only changes here but inside request its ok

So the following works. Do NOT use null. Use empty strings or empty arrays but never null:

{
“addresses”: [
],
“birthday”: “2017-11-20T02:43:46.425Z”,
“company”: {
“company_name”: “vgt1”,
“id”: 0
},
“date_created”: “0001-01-01T00:00:00”,
“email_addresses”: [
{
“email”: “kamleshyadav989@gmail.com”,
“field”: “EMAIL1”
}
],
“family_name”: “string”,
“fax_numbers”: ,
“given_name”: “Yadav”,
“job_title”: “string”,
“last_updated”: “2017-11-20T02:43:46.425Z”,
“lead_source_id”: 0,
“middle_name”: “string”,
“notes”: “string”,
“opt_in_reason”: “string”,
“owner_id”: 0,
“phone_numbers”: [
{
“extension”: “string”,
“field”: “PHONE1”,
“number”: “08013271643”,
“type”: “”
}
],
“preferred_locale”: “en_US”,
“preferred_name”: “string”,
“prefix”: “”,
“source_type”: “WEBFORM”,
“suffix”: “”,
“tag_ids”: ,
“time_zone”: “”,
“website”: “”
}
