         <meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

  }

  .container { margin: 50px auto 40px auto; width: 600px; text-align: cen; }

  a { color: #4183c4; text-decoration: none; }
  a:hover { text-decoration: underline; }

  h1 { letter-spacing: -1px; line-height: 60px; font-size: 60px; font-wei: 100; margin: 0px; text-shadow: 0 1px 0 #fff; }
  p { color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); margin: 20px 0 40px; }

  ul { list-style: none; margin: 25px 0; padding: 0; }
  li { display: table-cell; font-weight: bold; width: 1%; }

  .logo { display: inline-block; margin-top: 35px; }
  .logo-img-2x { display: none; }
  @media
  only screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),
  only screen and (   min--moz-device-pixel-ratio: 2),
  only screen and (     -o-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2/1),
  only screen and (        min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),

  only screen and (                min-resolution: 2dppx) {
    .logo-img-1x { display: none; }
    .logo-img-2x { display: inline-block; }
  }

  #suggestions {
    margin-top: 35px;
    color: #ccc;

I suspect this not well formatted JSON to be the cause. (JSON is only double quotes, never single ones). But could you please paste command output? (well, after reading it one more time, the single quotes are breaking the -d argument too, so you have to fix it anyway) — Arount

First of all, you should use api.github.com. Secondly you need to pass the Authorization token into your headers. E.g.

curl -v -H "Authorization: token TOKEN" https://api.github.com/repos/octodocs-test/test

You can find your personal access token on your personal access token page. If you don't have one, you can create one.

So your command may look:

curl -v -s \
  -H "Authorization: token xxxxxxxxx" \
  -H "Content-Type:application/json" \
  "https://api.github.com/repos/:owner/:repo/releases" \
  -d '{ "user" : { "email" : "XXXXXXX", "password" : "XXXXX"}, "tag_name": "1.2.1", "target_commitish": "master", "name": "1234", "body": "Release of version 1234", "draft": false, "prerelease": false}'

See: GitHub API v3 | GitHub Developer Guide

Check the available release related endpoints at REST API v3 Releases docs page, e.g.:

Get a release by tag name: GET /repos/:owner/:repo/releases/tags/:tag.
Create a release: POST /repos/:owner/:repo/releases.
etc.
