I am getting the following error:

npm ERR! missing script: start

npm ERR! A plete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!     C:\Users\..\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache\_logs\2019-04-27T18_02_39_6
60Z-debug.log

This is what I am doing - In my package.json I have written the following code:

{
"name":"javaScript-blockchain",
    "version":"1.0.0",
    "description":"",
    "main":"index.js",
    "scripts": {
        "test":"echo \"Error:no test specified\" && exit 1",
        "start":"node dev/api.js"
    }
    "author":"Samrat Roy Chowdhuri",
    "license":"ISC",
    "dependencies":{
        "express":"^4.16.3",
        "nodemon":"^1.17.3",
        "sha256":"^0.2.0"
    }
}

Then in my Node prompt I run npm start and get the above error

In the log the following is mentioned:

Your JSON is invalid. you just need a ma after the script curly bracket which is just after the start script

{
"name":"javaScript-blockchain",
    "version":"1.0.0",

    "main":"index.js",
    "scripts": {
