Running Curl POST w/ JSON Payload Sequentially Against File - bash

Question

I am hitting a wall trying to build a script to save myself quite a good bit of time. I am working in a system in which I need to run a curl POST against a list of values. The list is about 400 lines long, so I am hoping to find a way of scripting this in Bash instead of running that call manually for each entry. Below are some details to help understand what I'm trying to accomplish:
If I were to be doing this task manually, each call would be formatted like the below:
curl -X POST --header "Content-Type: application/json" -v 'http://www.website.com:8081/cc/membership' -d #json_payload.json
This points to my JSON in the listed file which shows as the below:
{
"groupId": "12345678987654321",
"type": "serial",
"memberInfo": "apple"
}
If I run the above, the call works, and the expected operation occurs. The issue is that I need to run this against roughly 400 values for that "memberInfo" field in the JSON payload. I'm trying to identify a way to run a single bash script, which will run this curl command over and over, and update the JSON payload to use each row in a file as the below:
memberList.txt
apple
banana
peach
pear
orange
.
.
And then maybe insert a pointer in my JSON for the "memberInfo" field over to this file.
Any and all help/suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

This will do as you intend. Its a little convoluted but you might polish it a bit.
#!/bin/bash
function getString(){
echo $1 | python3 -c '
import json
import sys
payload="""
{
"groupId": "12345678987654321",
"type": "serial",
"memberInfo": ""
}
"""
obj = json.loads(payload)
obj["memberInfo"] = sys.stdin.read().strip()
print(json.dumps(obj, indent = " "))
'
}
while read member
do
getString "$member" > json_payload.json
curl -X POST --header "Content-Type: application/json" -v 'http://www.website.com:8081/cc/membership' -d #json_payload.json
done <<< "$( cat fruits.txt )"
Hope it helps!

while read member; do
curl -X POST --header "Content-Type: application/json" -v 'http://www.website.com:8081/cc/membership' -d '{"groupId": "12345678987654321","type": "serial","memberInfo": "$member"}'
done <members.txt
This will work if you only care about the memberInfo field, another method could be writing your json line by line to payloads.txt file.
payloads.txt
{"groupId": "12345678987455432","type": "stereo","memberInfo": "apple"}
{"groupId": "34532453453453465","type": "serial","memberInfo": "banana"}
...
then use this as the script
while read payload; do
curl -X POST --header "Content-Type: application/json" -v 'http://www.website.com:8081/cc/membership' -d '$payload'
done <payloads.txt
