@jeremystretch commented on GitHub (Nov 26, 2018):

This is happening because the width value is being passed as a string rather than an integer. NetBox should still accept it, but for an immediate solution, simply remove the quotes around the value:

'{"site": 1, "name": "My New Rack", "width": 19, "u_height": 42}'
