Execute Queries via API

Hi All, I am trying to execute a query through the rest api documentation. Below is my sample json body. It is a simple Query which runs with no issues in desktop's DAX Query View but it is throwing error when called via API. I believe this is due to the use of "TableID" which is present inside double quotes. Please help me resolving this
Sample Body:

{
"queries": [
{
"query": "EVALUATE
var _a = SELECTCOLUMNS(INFO.TABLES(),"TableID", [ID])
var _b = SELECTCOLUMNS(INFO.TABLES(),"TableID", [ID])
Return UNION(_a,_b)"
}
],
"serializerSettings": {
"includeNulls": true
},
"impersonatedUserName": "someuser@mycompany.com"
}

--------------------------------------------------------------

Response:

{
"error": {
"code": "BadRequest",
"message": "Bad Request",
"details": [
{
"message": "Invalid value",
"target": "request.queries[0].query"
},
{
"message": "'request' is a required parameter",
"target": "request"
}
]
}
}

You probably need to double the double quotes, or escape the quotes with \

have you tried it?

Thanks using "\" helped. But is there anyway to run the query without escaping the double quotes with "\" ?
