I am using cURL command line utility to send HTTP POST to a web service. I want to include a file's contents as the body entity of the POST. I have tried using -d </path/to/filename> as well as other variants with type info like --data </path/to/filename> --data-urlencode </path/to/filename> etc... the file is always attached. I need it as the body entity.
I believe you're looking for the #filename syntax, e.g.:
strip new lines
curl --data "#/path/to/filename" http://...
keep new lines
curl --data-binary "#/path/to/filename" http://...
curl will strip all newlines from the file. If you want to send the file with newlines intact, use --data-binary in place of --data
I know the question has been answered, but in my case I was trying to send the content of a text file to the Slack Webhook api and for some reason the above answer did not work. Anywho, this is what finally did the trick for me:
curl -X POST -H --silent --data-urlencode "payload={\"text\": \"$(cat file.txt | sed "s/\"/'/g")\"}" https://hooks.slack.com/services/XXX
In my case, # caused some sort of encoding problem, I still prefer my old way:
curl -d "$(cat /path/to/file)" https://example.com
curl https://upload.box.com/api/2.0/files/3300/content -H "Authorization: Bearer $access_token" -F file=#"C:\Crystal Reports\Crystal Reports\mysales.pdf"

JIRA's REST API search doesn't honor maxResults parameter.
curl -o lambrusco.txt -k -D- -u admin:admin -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://jira.domain.com/rest/api/2/search?jql=assignee=blackpearl&startAt=0&maxResults=4
No matter what maxResults is, it always returns 50 results.
Output:
{"expand":"schema,names","startAt":0,"maxResults":50,"total":61,"issues":[{"expand":"operations,versionedRepresentations,editmeta,changelog,transitions,renderedFields","id":"15588","self": ...}
What am I missing here?
Your request looks fine. Here is example on official Atlassian JIRA, which works fine:
curl -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" "https://jira.atlassian.com/rest/api/2/search?jql=assignee=tlay&startAt=1&maxResults=1" | jq -r '.maxResults'
It looks like that it's related to REST API Bug!
You need to quote the request when using curl as shown by #grundic, otherwise the shell will interpred the ampersand. And note that the API is case sensitive.
This is what I've currently got and it creates a new Confluence page. It doesn't update it. Also it posts it in the root space, TST, but I want it to be in TST/space1/subsection2/updateThisPage.
curl -v -u admin:admin -X POST -H Content-Type: application/json -d "{\"id\":\"123456\",\"type\":\"page\",\"title\":\"new page\",\"space\":{\"key\":\"TST\",\"title\":\"updateThisPage\"},\"body\":{\"storage\":{\"value\":\"<p>This is the updated text for the new page</p>\",\"representation\":\"storage\"}},\"version\":{\"number\":3}}" http://localhost:8090/rest/api/content?spaceKey=TST&title=updateThisPage
This is the error message I get
{"statusCode":400,"message":"A page with this title already exists: A page already exists with the title new page in the space with key TST"}
Would it be a permissions error? I know I do not have access to delete.
Use request /rest/api/content/{id}.
This worked for me.
curl -u admin:admin -X PUT -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{\"id\":\"26738701\",\"type\":\"page\",\"title\":\"new page\",\"space\":{\"key\":\"RO\"},\"body\":{\"storage\":{\"value\":\"<p>UPDATE This is a new page</p>\",\"representation\":\"storage\"}},\"version\":{\"number\":2}}" http://localost:10080/rest/api/content/26738701
JSON Payload:
{
"id":"26738701",
"type":"page",
"title":"new page",
"space":{
"key":"RO"
},
"body":{
"storage":{
"value":"<p>UPDATE This is a new page</p>",
"representation":"storage"
}
},
"version":{
"number":2
}
}
Don't forget to use:
content ID in data part
version number in data part
PUT request
content ID in request
Try to use PUT instead of POST.
curl -v -u admin:admin -X PUT -H Content-Type: application/json -d "{\"id\":\"123456\",\"type\":\"page\",\"title\":\"new page\",\"space\":{\"key\":\"TST\",\"title\":\"updateThisPage\"},\"body\":{\"storage\":{\"value\":\"<p>This is the updated text for the new page</p>\",\"representation\":\"storage\"}},\"version\":{\"number\":3}}" http://localhost:8090/rest/api/content?spaceKey=TST&title=updateThisPage
If anyone is looking for javascript solution, here is my answer to another question like that
Unexpected grunt-http error when posting to Atlassian Confluence api
And here you can find working code i've developed on confluence hackathon
https://github.com/devex-web-frontend/dxWebPlugins/blob/master/src/confluence/helpers/buffer.js
I want to upload a file together with some information(e.g. package_type) with curl
in my submission model:
has_attached_file :package
What I tried:
curl -d "submission[package_type]=type1&submission[package]=#/home/ubuntu/Downloads/test.zip" http://localhost:3000/restapi.json
If I leave out the file object, it works(a entry will be inserted into the database)
But I specify the file like above, it gives me an error:
No handler found for "#/home/ubuntu/Downloads/test.zip"
Update:
I just found that that I should use the -F option in curl, but in that case the file information cannot be recorded, is there anyway to include both the file object and file info? Maybe something like curl -d -F ?
I had a similar issue and ended up setting the content-type to multipart/form-data instead of dealing with base64 encoding issues when posting to my REST API. Here is an example which includes headers for auth:
curl -v -H 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' -H "X-User-Email: <email>" -H "X-User-Token: <token>" -X POST -i -F submission[package_type]=type1 -F submission[image_attributes][image]=#f117.jpg http://localhost:3000/api/v1/submissions
How do I include special characters like # and & in the cURL POST data? I'm trying to pass a name and password like:
curl -d name=john passwd=#31&3*J https://www.mysite.com
This would cause problems as # is used for loading files and & for specifying more than one key/value. Is there some way I can escape these characters? \# and \& don't seem to work.
cURL > 7.18.0 has an option --data-urlencode which solves this problem. Using this, I can simply send a POST request as
curl -d name=john --data-urlencode passwd=#31&3*J https://www.example.com
Summarizing the comments, in case of mixed "good" and "bad" data and exclamation marks inside we can use on Windows:
curl -d "grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=super-client&acr_values=tenant:TNT123" --data-urlencode "client_secret=XxYyZ21D8E&%fhB6kq^mXQDovSZ%Q*!ipINme" https://login.example.com/connect/token
How about using the entity codes...
# = %40
& = %26
So, you would have:
curl -d 'name=john&passwd=%4031%263*J' https://www.mysite.com
Double quote (" ") the entire URL .It works.
curl "http://www.mysite.com?name=john&passwd=#31&3*J"
Just found another solutions worked for me. You can use '\' sign before your one special.
passwd=\#31\&3*J
Try this:
export CURLNAME="john:#31&3*J"
curl -d -u "${CURLNAME}" https://www.example.com
If password has the special characters in it, just round the password with the single quote it will work.
curl -u username:'this|!Pa&*12' --request POST https://www.example.com
I did this
~]$ export A=g
~]$ export B=!
~]$ export C=nger
curl http://<>USERNAME<>1:$A$B$C#<>URL<>/<>PATH<>/
I'm attempting to gather XML data automatically using curl, and my command so far is
curl -E keyStore.pem -d 'uid=myusername&password=mypassword&active=y&type=F' 'https://www.aidaptest.naimes.faa.gov/aidap/XmlNotamServlet HTTP/1.1/' -k
but it keeps on giving me a "Your browser sent a query this server could not understand." error.
I'm pretty sure that it's connecting since it's not rejecting me, but I don't know how to properly format the POST. Here's some documentation they gave me for the format of the POST request.
POST <URL>/aidap/XmlNotamServlet HTTP/1.1
Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-length: <input_parameter’s length>
<a blank line>
<input_parameter>`
input_parameter is uid, password, and location_id bit and is correct
Am I doing this correctly from what you can see?
Something like this should do it.
curl -E keyStore.pem -v -X POST -i --header Content-Type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded
-d 'uid=myusername&password=mypassword&active=y&type=F' 'https://www.aidaptest.naimes.faa.gov/aidap/XmlNotamServlet'
I don't think you need HTTP/1.1 at the end of the URL in the command line. And even if you needed it, you certainly don't need the final / character before the closing single quote.
