Per this https://docs.cloudant.com/document.html#bulk-operations I am trying to insert multiple documents into my cloudant database but I get an error:

I took the input Json from the example docs and checked it online JSON validator it seems to be ok. What I am doing wrong?
It appears that the request body is missing the docs property. The referenced documentation provides this example:
