    I see a few things wrong here. Firstly, you should escape all your quotation marks in the string following sh. Otherwise, the string is terminated early and you’ll encounter errors.

    Secondly, you opened 2 do blocks: lane :detox do and images.each do |image|, but you only have a single end.

    This should be

    lane :detox do
    images = Dir.glob("folder/*.png")
    images.each do |image|
      puts image
      sh "curl --request POST --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '{"chat_id": "123456789", "media": [{"type": "photo", "media": "attach://image"}]}'   https://api.telegram.org/botToken/sendMediaGroup"
    end
end

    The syntax error is caused by using unescaped double quotes within a double quoted string:

    str = "foo "bar" baz"
#          ^^^^^ won't work

    You can escape " as " but it’s often easier to use a heredoc instead which doesn’t require escaping:

    sh <<-CMD
  curl https://api.telegram.org/botToken/sendMediaGroup 
    --request POST 
    --header 'Content-Type: application/json' 
    --data '{"chat_id": "123456789", "media": [{"type": "photo", "media": "attach://image"}]}'
CMD

    However, instead of building the command yourself, you can also pass the command options as separate arguments to sh:

    sh(
  'curl', 'https://api.telegram.org/botToken/sendMediaGroup',
  '--request', 'POST',
  '--header', 'Content-Type: application/json',
  '--data', '{"chat_id": "123456789", "media": [{"type": "photo", "media": "attach://image"}]}'
)

    Which also allows you to create the JSON from a Ruby hash on the fly:

    require 'json'

data = {
  chat_id: "123456789",
  media: [{ type: "photo", media: "attach://image" }]
}

sh(
  'curl', 'https://api.telegram.org/botToken/sendMediaGroup',
  '--request', 'POST',
  '--header', 'Content-Type: application/json',
  '--data', data.to_json
)

    Doing so ensures that your JSON is always valid. (syntactically)
