How do i convert this cURL cmd into a batch script -

curl --request POST \
--url https://api.example.com \
--header "Authorization: Bearer token" \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{"personalizations": [{"to": [{"email": "email@email.com"}]}],"from": {"email": "email@email.com"},"subject": "Subject","content": [{"type": "text/plain", "value": "Body"}]}'

this is the error that i am getting -

You add cmd.
You just need to open a CMD window to execute your curl.
And needs to all be on one line.
Those errors you are getting because it is trying to execute each line as a command.

cmd /k 'curl -X POST --url https://api.example.com -H "Authorization: Bearer $token" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d {"personalizations": [{"to": [{"email": "email@email.com"}]}],"from": {"email": "email@email.com"},"subject": "Subject","content": [{"type": "text/plain", "value": "Body"}]}';
PAUSE

When you are done testing, remove the PAUSE.

Escape a new line with a ^ instead of a \ and for --data turn ' into " and " into \":

curl --request POST ^
--url https://api.example.com ^
--header "Authorization: Bearer token" ^
--header "Content-Type: application/json" ^
--data "{\"personalizations\": [{\"to\": [{\"email\": \"email@email.com\"}]}],\"from\": {\"email\": \"email@email.com\"},\"subject\": \"Subject\",\"content\": [{\"type\": \"text/plain\", \"value\": \"Body\"}]}"
