curl / curl

Curl is a command-line tool for transferring data specified with URL syntax. Find out how to use curl by reading the curl.1 man page or the MANUAL document. Find out how to install Curl by reading the INSTALL document.

libcurl is the library curl is using to do its job. It is readily available to be used by your software. Read the libcurl.3 man page to learn how!

You can find answers to the most frequent questions we get in the FAQ document.

Study the COPYING file for distribution terms.

-d, --data <data>

(HTTP MQTT) Sends the specified data in a POST request to the HTTP server, in the same way that a browser does when a user has filled in an HTML form and presses the submit button. This will cause curl to pass the data to the server using the content-type application/x-www-form-urlencoded. Compare to -F, --form.

--data-raw is almost the same but does not have a special interpretation of the @ character. To post data purely binary, you should instead use the --data-binary option. To URL-encode the value of a form field you may use --data-urlencode.

If any of these options is used more than once on the same command line, the data pieces specified will be merged together with a separating &-symbol. Thus, using '-d name=daniel -d skill=lousy' would generate a post chunk that looks like 'name=daniel&skill=lousy'.

If you start the data with the letter @, the rest should be a file name to read the data from, or - if you want curl to read the data from stdin. Posting data from a file named 'foobar' would thus be done with -d, --data @foobar. When -d, --data is told to read from a file like that, carriage returns and newlines will be stripped out. If you don't want the @ character to have a special interpretation use --data-raw instead.

See also --data-binary, --data-urlencode and --data-raw. This option overrides -F, --form and -I, --head and -T, --upload-file. 

 

 

How do I POST JSON data with cURL?

You need to set your content-type to application/json. But -d sends the Content-Type application/x-www-form-urlencoded, which is not accepted on Spring's side.

Looking at the curl man page, I think you can use -H:

-H "Content-Type: application/json"

Full example:

curl --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --request POST \
  --data '{"username":"xyz","password":"xyz"}' \
  http://localhost:3000/api/login

(-H is short for --header, -d for --data)

Note that -request POST is optional if you use -d, as the -d flag implies a POST request.

On Windows, things are slightly different. See the comment thread.

 

For windows, single quotes around json did not work and I ended up escaping double quotes. curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{ \"key1\": \"value1\" }" http://localhost:3000/api/method – hIpPy Sep 11 '13 at 17:34

 

For me under Windows I needed to escape quotes using quotes in this format "{ """key1""": """value1""" }". Also this answer: stackoverflow.com/questions/18314796/… – chodorowicz Jan 27 '14 at 11:10

 

 

POST with curl without sending data

Randomly found the solution on another post:

curl -X POST http://example.com

 

What is the cURL command-line syntax to do a POST request?

With fields:

curl --data "param1=value1&param2=value2" https://example.com/resource.cgi

With fields specified individually:

curl --data "param1=value1" --data "param2=value2" https://example.com/resource.cgi

Multipart:

curl --form "fileupload=@my-file.txt" https://example.com/resource.cgi

Multipart with fields and a filename:

curl --form "fileupload=@my-file.txt;filename=desired-filename.txt" --form param1=value1 --form param2=value2 https://example.com/resource.cgi

Without data:

curl --data '' https://example.com/resource.cgi

curl -X POST https://example.com/resource.cgi

curl --request POST https://example.com/resource.cgi

For more information see the cURL manual. The cURL tutorial on emulating a web browser is helpful.

With libcurl, use the curl_formadd() function to build your form before submitting it in the usual way. See the libcurl documentation for more information.

For large files, consider adding parameters to show upload progress:

curl --tr-encoding -X POST -v -# -o output -T filename.dat \
  http://example.com/resource.cgi

The -o output is required, otherwise no progress bar will appear.
