Incoming JSON request does not map to API request

[charliedidonato]

I am having an issue creating a payment.

I get an access token via "/v1/oauth2/token"

I include the token in the subsequent Http POST to 

"/v1/payments/payment"

Here is the JSON for Create Payment

https://togaquikpics.com/json.txt

The POST returns

Response Status Line:HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
{"name":"MALFORMED_REQUEST","message":"Incoming JSON request does not map to API request","information_link":"https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/api/#MALFORMED_REQUEST","debug_id":"db69f2ad74eb..."}

Hello,

The JSON request cannot be accessed as the site is unavailable. If you're receiving a "malformed request" response, part of your JSON request is invalid.

Here is simple payment creation request. Start here and make very small changes as you move through modifying the request, that way if you experience another issue like this one, you'll know which changed caused the issue and be able to revert it.
