Can't get a light to toggle via the API?

Configuration
1

Hi,
I am attempting to use the API (currently just through Postman) and have a bearer setup.
I can get info on the device by using:

curl --location --request GET 'http://XXXX/api/states/light.study_cd_rack_light' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer XXXX'

However when I try to change this to toggle it:

curl --location --request POST 'http://XXXX/api/services/light/toggle' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer XXXX' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
  "entity_id": "light.study_cd_rack_light"
}'

I just get:
405: Method Not Allowed

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance K

The example in the API docs works for me.

curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer ABCDEFGH" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"entity_id": "switch.christmas_lights"}' \
  http://localhost:8123/api/services/switch/turn_on

@VDRainer, doesn’t that appear to be the equivalent to what I have… ??

  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

  https://xxxx.xxxxxx.xxx/api/services/light/toggle
