Getting 400 bad request reason:required from google cloud stoarge json api

Question

I am attempting to upload a file (png in this this example) to google cloud storage but my request fails with the following 400 Bad Request response.

{
 "error": {
  "errors": [
   {
    "domain": "global",
    "reason": "required",
    "message": "Required"
   }
  ],
  "code": 400,
  "message": "Required"

Per the documentation I've supplied the necessary paramters etc so I cannot see what is required that I am not providing.

You forgot to supply the name parameter in the URL. See the Simple upload documentation for more details.
