Hi Mark,
Calling a REST API from Bash using curl is an exercise in masochism.
I strongly recommend writing your scripts in Python using the requests package. If you prefer Ruby I recommend the httpclient gem.
Cheers,
Ewan

I don't suppose anyone here has any experience of writing to Google Sheets from bash? (Specifically, I'm trying to use curl to write values into a pre-existing spreadsheet.)
I started with a fairly simple aim: To have a few Linux boxes (servers, Pi's, etc) periodically update a central spreadsheet with stuff like disk utilisation, updates pending, O/S version, etc.
However I haven't had to deal with OAuth2 before and I'm going round in circles trying to find out exactly what authentication I need to configure. My attempts at Googling have lead me into most of those circles without getting me out again!
It seems like a useful concept to pursue but I have to admit I'm just way out of my depth!
