How to use curl's response in other run commands in github actions

Trying to get the response from curl and use it in subsequent commands. Not sure what should be the correct syntax here.

    - name: Get Token    
    run: |
      response = $(curl https://********* -header "Accept: application/json" -header "X-Username: ${{ secrets.USER_NAME }}" -header "X-Password: ${{ secrets.PASSWORD }}")         
      echo "response from curl= $response"

For this you first need to give your step an id, then set status or output using save-state and set-output commands. The syntax for setting output or state is -

- name: Save state
run: echo "{name}={value}" >> $GITHUB_STATE

- name: Set output
run: echo "{name}={value}" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT

I am catching one value from curl response and setting as output, see this -

- name: run curl
  run: | 
    status=$(curl -s --request POST \
    --url https://x.com/api \
    --header 'Token: ${{ env.TOKEN }}' \
    --header 'content-type: application/json' \
    --data '{"parameters": {"run_workflow_test":true, "source_branch":"${{ steps.comment-branch.outputs.head_ref }}"}
    }' | jq -r '.state'); echo "status=$status" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT
  id: req

And to access the value from another place -

- name: test 
  run: echo "Result is ${{ steps.req.outputs.status }} "

Best wishes.

I was able to solve this using below approach

  - name: GET all workspace
    run: | 
          curl --location --request GET 'https://api.getpostman.com/workspaces' --header 'X-API-Key: ${{ secrets.API_TOKEN }}' -o workspaces.json

  - name: read workspace id
    id: workspace 
    run: echo "::set-output name=id::$(cat workspaces.json | jq -c '.workspaces[] | select(.name == "My Workspace").id')"

  - name: print workspace id
    run: echo ${{ steps.workspace.outputs.id }}

  - name: GET api's in workspace
    run: | 
          curl --location --request GET "https://api.getpostman.com/apis?workspace=${{ steps.workspace.outputs.id }}" --header 'X-API-Key: ${{ secrets.API_TOKEN }}' -o apis.json

  - name: Read api id in workspace
    id: api 
    run: echo "::set-output name=id::$(cat apis.json | jq -c '.apis[] | select(.name == "testing-service").id')"

  - name: Print api id
    run: echo ${{ steps.api.outputs.id }}

Try to use like this

  - name: Get Token    
    run: |
      response = $(curl https://********* -header "Accept= application/json" -header "X-Username= ${{ secrets.USER_NAME }}" -header "X-Password= ${{ secrets.PASSWORD }}")         
      echo "response from curl= $response"
