I am executing the below curl command in shell script. But I am getting command not found error. So wanted to check if I am making any mistake while executing it.

return = $(curl -s --location --request GET --url 'https://testurl.mywebsite.com/api/accts?Id=trst_id&var=test_var' --header 'type: app/test')

echo "data is: ${return}"

I am getting the error:

return: command not found

Kindly let me know if there is a problem with the way I am trying to execute the curl command.

Thank you.

Like dan pointed out in comments, the extra whotespaces between the variable and command caused the issue. After removing extra whitespaces it worked.

return=$(curl -s --location --request GET --url 'https://testurl.mywebsite.com/api/accts?Id=trst_id&var=test_var' --header 'type: app/test') echo "data is: ${return}"
