When making an API call with parameters of type `array` and/or `hash`, the parameters may be
specified as shown below.
We can call the API with `array` and `hash` types parameters as shown below:
### `array`
`import_sources` is a parameter of type `array`:
```
```bash
curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: 9koXpg98eAheJpvBs5tK" \
-d "import_sources[]=github" \
-d "import_sources[]=bitbucket" \

"https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/169/pipeline?ref=master&variables[][key]=VAR1&variables[][value]=hello&variables[][key]=VAR2&variables[][value]=world"
curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: ********************" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data '{ "ref": "master", "variables": [ {"key": "VAR1", "value": "hello"}, {"key": "VAR2", "value": "world"} ] }' \
