We're going to Import the data from the thing.json file using the simpleImport extension ** NB: We're using http here, for convenience. ALWAYS use https when talking to the internet

     --data @thing.json \
     -u system:P4ssw0rd \
     http://localhost:8080/DataImport/ff/ext/simpleImport

curl http://localhost:8080/DataImport/ff/resources/Thing
