I have a script with which I POST data to a server using cURL. When I use an HTML form to POST the same data, the POST looks something like this and all is well:
description=Something&name=aName&xml=wholeBiunchOfData&xslt=moreData
The XML and XSLT are large and change; I would prefer to maintain them in external files. However, the following does not work as I expect;
curl --cookie cjar --cookie-jar cjar --location --output NUL ^
--data "name=aName&description=Something" ^
--data "xml=#localFile.xml" ^
--data "xslt=#localFile.xslt" ^
http://someUrl.html
I have tried various combinations of the # and local files without success. How do I POST the contents of a file?
Looking at the man page it looks like the --data #file syntax does not permit for a variable name, it must be in the file. http://paulstimesink.com/2005/06/29/http-post-with-curl/. You could also try using a backtick
curl --cookie cjar --cookie-jar cjar --location --output NUL ^
--data "name=aName&description=Something" ^
--data "xml=`cat localFile.xml`" ^
--data "xslt=`cat someFile.xml`" ^
http://someUrl.html
I'd recommend trying the following:
curl --cookie cjar --cookie-jar cjar --location --output NUL ^
--data "name=aName&description=Something" ^
--data-urlencode "xml#localFile.xml" ^
--data-urlencode "xslt#localFile.xslt" ^
http://someUrl.html
XML (including stylesheets) will need to be URL-encoded before being made part of a URL.
You can also use --trace-ascii - as an additional parameter to dump the input and output to standard out for further debugging, and you can find more information on the main man page.
Hope this helps!

I got to this section, but I don't know how to get it to work at the end, so I can't get it to work.
in my browser
http://localhost:8080/todos
When I access the above url, [] is displayed, so I think it's working.
# Update a specific todo by id
curl --request PUT \
--url http://localhost:8080/todos/<id> \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
"title": "Take out trash!",
"isCompleted": true
}'
How can I check that the above part works?
The line you see there is a command you are supposed to run on your commandline.
If you use a newer version of windows you probably have curl already, if not, see How do I install and use cURL on Windows?
So you open your command prompt and enter
curl --request PUT --url http://localhost:8080/todos/<id> --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '{ "title": "Take out trash!", "isCompleted": true }'
where I guess the <id> part needs to be an id. So for example 1.
Please note that that is a tutorial for a backend in Dart. They are not commonly called an app. If you are looking to build a nice app for your device or webbrowser, with ui controls like input boxes and buttons, you are reading the wrong tutorial.
I've successfully generated a token with the GET /v3/identity/token API. I now want to be able to leverage the PUT API to keep the token active.
I am trying this curl command:
curl -X PUT --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --header 'Accept: application/json' -d '<token-value>' 'https://ibm-watson-ml.mybluemix.net/v3/identity/token' -v -i --basic --user <username>:<password>
I get a 400 error stating:
For request 'PUT /v3/identity/token' [Invalid Json: Unexpected character ('-' (code 45)) in numeric value: expected digit (0-9) to follow minus sign, for valid numeric value at [Source: akka.util.ByteIterator$ByteArrayIterator$$anon$1#18bd12ef; line: 1, column: 3]]
The token returned from the get request has the dash character in it, along with other non-alphnumeric values.
Does the token from the get request need to be parsed? what am I missing?
You need to set your content-type to application/json. But -d sends the Content-Type application/x-www-form-urlencoded, which maybe is not accepted on IBM side.
But, seems like your JSON (token) are in the incorrect format.
The token value needs to be the following format (JSON):
{
"token": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzdWIiOiIxMjM0NTY3ODkwIiwibmFtZSI6IkpvaG4gRG9lIiwiYWRtaW4iOnRydWV9.TJVA95OrM7E2cBab30RMHrHDcEfxjoYZgeFONFh7HgQ"
}
And you need to follow the example of sent correctly the format:
curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X PUT \
-d '{"token":"yourToken"}' \

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.
I've tried various iterations of using either ", ' and ` to enclose a curl query to an instance of jira in order to get all issues for a particular fix Version.
curl -D- -u username:password -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"jql":"project = PROJ AND fixVersion=Version-1.2.3"}' "https://thejirainstall.com/jira/rest/api/2/search"
However, using this and a couple of other change on fixVersion such as:
fixVersion="Version-1.2.3"
or
fixVersion=\"Version-1.2.3\"
or
fixVersion=Version-1\u002e2\u002e3
Add and remove quotes at will.
The ones that don't fail outright return:
{"errorMessages":["Error in the JQL Query: '\\.' is an illegal JQL escape sequence. The valid escape sequences are \\', \\\", \\t, \\n, \\r, \\\\, '\\ ' and \\uXXXX. (line 1, character 38)"],"errors":{}}
How do I either escape periods . or add another set of quotes?
Ok, so it turns out that Jira doesn't permit version names in jql syntax. The version id must be used instead.
And, in order to get the version id you must parse the result from https://thejirainstall.com/jira/rest/api/2/project/ON/versions?
This now means that I have to use a JSON parser anyway. So, now I'm using jq via homebrew install jq
My current solution is to write a bash script as below:
JIRA_FIXVERSION
fixVersionQuery='https://thejirainstall.com/jira/rest/api/2/project/ON/versions?';
myJSONResponse=`curl -u username:password -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" --insecure --silent $fixVersionQuery |jq '.[] | {id,name} | select(.name=="Version-1.2.3" | .["id"]'`;
echo $myJSONResponse;
I am using cURL command line utility to send HTTP POST to a web service. I want to include a file's contents as the body entity of the POST. I have tried using -d </path/to/filename> as well as other variants with type info like --data </path/to/filename> --data-urlencode </path/to/filename> etc... the file is always attached. I need it as the body entity.
I believe you're looking for the #filename syntax, e.g.:
strip new lines
curl --data "#/path/to/filename" http://...
keep new lines
curl --data-binary "#/path/to/filename" http://...
curl will strip all newlines from the file. If you want to send the file with newlines intact, use --data-binary in place of --data
I know the question has been answered, but in my case I was trying to send the content of a text file to the Slack Webhook api and for some reason the above answer did not work. Anywho, this is what finally did the trick for me:
curl -X POST -H --silent --data-urlencode "payload={\"text\": \"$(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"
