Particle Publish Event CURL not working

Good catch!
That’s one reason why using the proper way to provide text blocks in this forum can help finding such things.

When you wrap your command in a set of these

your text here



// or for CPP code
```cpp
// code here
it will look like this

curl https://api.particle.io/v1/devices/events -d "name=hello_event” -d "data=1” -d “private=true” -d “ttl=60” -d access_token=193…XXXXXXXX…

```cpp
Particle.subscribe("hello_event", helloHandler,MY_DEVICES);

void helloHandler(const char *event, const char *data){
  float fr=atof(data);
  Serial.println(fr);
}

Notice the code highliting - the closing double quote is not interpreted as such.
And printing out const char* data and const char* event should have revealed this too.
With above statement the event name would probably be hello_event” -d
