bash: syntax error near unexpected token `{account_id:’
**This error is on MongoDB lab which is online lab environment **
If the labs is using a modern shell try insertOne or insertMany as insert is deprecated:
From the prompt string
which looks like a bash shell prompt, I assume that you are not connected to the database with mongosh.
Try to connect with mongosh as instructed.
That makes a lot more sense, not sure how I missed that…but the insert comment still stands once you connect as that call will probably give a warning.
My favorite quote since I often am a monkey.
Saru mo ki kara ochiru
In reality I know how I missed that…apparently reading is indeed hard 
In case you need more proof that reading is hard.
