I had to remove the underscore in the method name too. from: save_message() to: savemessage()
#!/bin/bash message=$1 uid=$2 url="https://host.com/ircmessage/rpc/call/jsonrpc"; curl -v -k -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{\"id\": 1, \"method\": \"savemessage\", \"params\": { \"${message}\": \"mymessage\", \"${uid}\" : \"myemail@localhost\"}}" $url There is slightly strange behavior in that the value of the parameter name is what is saved instead of the value. So the value of ${message} is saved rather than "mymessage" Many thanks for your time Nyphlod.
