Automating install fails with {"message":"bad request data","traceID":""}

[andersnas]

Grafana v10.2.0 (895fbafb7a)
grafana-json-datasource v1.3.8

I'm trying to fully automate installation of datasources which fails when POSTing to /api/datasources method.

The steps I use:
Install the grafana-json-datasource: grafana-cli plugins install marcusolsson-json-datasource
curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Basic $AUTH" -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data "$datasource" https://HOSTNAME/grafana/api/datasources

This is the the content of $datasource above:
[
{
"uid": "d939889a-e25c-4422-b907-2c801ff3c5d2",
"orgId": 1,
"name": "GenerateToken",
"type": "marcusolsson-json-datasource",
"typeName": "JSON API",
"typeLogoUrl": "/grafana/public/plugins/marcusolsson-json-datasource/img/logo.svg",
"access": "proxy",
"url": "http://localhost:3001/generateToken",
"user": "",
"database": "",
"basicAuth": false,
"isDefault": false,
"jsonData": {},
"readOnly": false
}
]

The result is:
{"message":"bad request data","traceID":""}{"message":"bad request data","traceID":""}
(Which is obviously also failing in creating the datasource)

If I try this content:
[ {
"uid": "ae984540-8c1c-4e16-8863-f4700ffbe689",
"orgId": 1,
"name": "toplist",
"type": "elasticsearch",
"typeName": "Elasticsearch",
"typeLogoUrl": "/grafana/public/app/plugins/datasource/elasticsearch/img/elasticsearch.svg",
"access": "proxy",
"url": "http://db2:9200",
"user": "",
"database": "toplist",
"basicAuth": false,
"isDefault": false,
"jsonData": {
"includeFrozen": false,
"logLevelField": "",
"logMessageField": "",
"maxConcurrentShardRequests": 5,
"timeField": "first_timestamp"
},
"readOnly": false
}
]

I get:
{
"datasource": {
"id": 7,
"uid": "ae984540-8c1c-4e16-8863-f4700ffbe689",
"orgId": 1,
"name": "toplist",
"type": "elasticsearch",
"typeLogoUrl": "/grafana/public/app/plugins/datasource/elasticsearch/img/elasticsearch.svg",
"access": "proxy",
"url": "http://db2:9200",
"user": "",
"database": "toplist",
"basicAuth": false,
"basicAuthUser": "",
"withCredentials": false,
"isDefault": false,
"jsonData": {
"includeFrozen": false,
"logLevelField": "",
"logMessageField": "",
"maxConcurrentShardRequests": 5,
"timeField": "first_timestamp"
},
"secureJsonFields": {},
"version": 1,
"readOnly": false
},
"id": 7,
"message": "Datasource added",
"name": "toplist"
}
(Which also creates a datasource)
