I feel that I am just missing something very silly and not quoting/escaping something as I should, but I've been reading and testing for a solid amount of time now, and just can't get this to work.
I have a CSV file with data like the below:
TESTING.csv
17A3120UAXF-AA002771,9911017093
S150Y52157201,9911008933
17A3120UAXF-AA004545,9911016519
S170Y13084226,9911024365
S160Y45021270,9911018486
For the first part of my script, I need to read the second variable (ie. the items starting with "99110...")
I am parsing this data into a CURL while loop to sequence through all lines in the file. My bash script is like the below at this time:
#!/bin/bash
while IFS=, read -r device account; do
echo "device : $device"
echo "account : $account"
curl -X GET --header "Content-Type: application/json" --user username:password --verbose 'https://www.website.com:8444/api/subscriber?account=$account'
done < TESTING.csv
The issue that I'm running into is that while the "echo" statements are able to correctly pull/show the variable that I'm wanting to pass, this same information is not being passed into my CURL commands. When I run my script, the output is like the below:
device : 17A3120UAXF-AA002771
account : 9911017093
* About to connect() to www.website.com port 8444 (#0)
* Trying 8.8.8.8...
* Connected to www.website.com (8.8.8.8) port 8444 (#0)

You are using single quotes int the URL, so the variables don't get expanded. Use double quotes:
curl -X GET --header "Content-Type: application/json" --user username:password --verbose "https://www.website.com:8444/api/subscriber?account=$account"
