How to use current date in a curl command in shell script?

Question

#!/bin/bash
currentTime=$(date +"%R")
currentdate=$(date +'%m/%d/%Y')
oldtime=$(date +%R -d "50 min ago")
echo "Current time : $currentTime"
echo "Current Date : $currentdate"
echo "Old time : $oldtime"
Response=$(curl -X GET -H "Authorization: Basic Token=" "http://targetserver.company.com:8080/v1/organizations/company/environments/environmentname/stats/apis?select=sum(is_error)&timeRange="$currentdate"%20"$currentTime"~"$currentdate"%20"$oldtime"")
echo -e "the response is: \n $Response"

Not getting any response? Please help how to use system date-time/current date-time in curl URL in shell-script.

it looks consistent, but not entirely sure what looks wrong. have you tried to echo the Response line to see what it looks like? how about trying it with wrapping the bash variable names in curly brace and removing the quotes in the string?

Response=$(curl -X GET -H "Authorization: Basic Token=" "http://targetserver.company.com:8080/v1/organizations/company/environments/environmentname/stats/apis?select=sum(is_error)&timeRange=${currentdate}%20${currentTime}~${currentdate}%20${oldtime}")
