Bash variable with curl

Question

When I run the following, it works and returns one item.

online

curl -X POST -d 'tag=jazz' -d 'state=queensland' http://all.api.radio-browser.info/json/stations/search 

But in a Bash script, when I use -d 'tag=jazz' -d 'state=queensland' for RES, I get different outputs.

read -rp "Write your quiry " RES echo "$RES" curl -X POST "$RES" http://all.api.radio-browser.info/json/stations/search 

I tried this but it didn't work.

curl -X POST http://all.api.radio-browser.info/json/stations/search <<EOF "$RES" EOF 

How can I use a variable in a Bash script?

Answer 1

Use an array as in the answer to your previous question:

read -rp 'Write your query ' -a RES curl -X POST "${RES[@]}" http://all.api.radio-browser.info/json/stations/search 

Enter your arguments without single quotes since they are saved literally into the array, i.e. use

-d tag=jazz -d state=queensland
