Error when trying to restore to a previous version on SharePoint

The following POST generates an error saying it's not valid:

 

https://{CompanyName}.sharepoint.com/sites/{SiteName}/_api/web/GetFileByServerRelativeUrl('/sites/{SiteName}/Shared%20Documents/{FilenameAndPath}')/versions/{VersionID}/restoreVersion

 

I've tried putting the Version ID in curly brackets and with/without the preceding forward slash but it still doesn't work.  Is anyone able to advise please?
