SC2090: Quotes/backslashes in this variable will not be respected.

Putting literal JSON in a variable mistakenly triggers these warnings.
Instead of adding ignore directives, this can be avoided by inlining the
JSON data into the curl invocation.
Since the variable is only used in this one location, inlining is fine.
