how to specify tags in a curl post api request

Thank you for your work on this fantastic simple and usefull tool.

It really does what it says in the can :-)

I'm not very skilled with neither curl nor the pocket api. But I am almost sure there must be a way to specify "tags" to add to a URL when you want to save to getpocket.com using just curl.

Would it be possible to make this tool, optionaly read a second (or third, fourth etc) argument as tags ?

pocket-sh-add.sh $1
pocket-sh-add.sh $1 [$2 $3 ...]

if only one argument is passed, it is expected to be a URL
if 2 or more arguments are passed the 2nd, 3rd etc, are expected to be tags.

PS: example from a python cli tool,
pocket-cli add -u https://myarticle.com/ --tags=tech
pocket-cli add -u https://myarticle.com/ --tags=tech,news,later
