Curl with restful API - rest

My pc is windows 10. I want to use curl command to get the data from elasticsearch, but I have some problems.
this is my curl command (a small test):
curl "http://localhost:9200/_search" -d '{"query": {"match_all": {}}}'
and the cmd show the error:
{"error":"Content-Type header [application/x-www-form-urlencoded] is not supported","status":406}curl: (3) [globbing] unmatched brace in column 1
curl: (3) [globbing] empty string within braces in column 2
could anyone help me?
thank you in advance.


It seems like you need to provide the proper Content-Type header as well:
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"query": {"match_all": {}}}' "http://localhost:9200/_search"

MarkLogic ingest JSON from external API

I am using Marklogic 9 and try to ingest data from external source into MarkLogic. I made an REST API on port 8031. When I try to execute the following curl command:
curl --anyauth --user admin:admin -i -X POST -d https://services7.arcgis.com/21GdwfcLrnTpiju8/arcgis/rest/services/Geluidsbelasting/FeatureServer/0/query?where=1%3D1&outFields=*&outSR=4326&f=json
-H "Content-type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json" \
'http://localhost:8031
After executing this statement I receive the error:
Curl: URL is not specified
Can you please help me out!
Many thanks
Erik

Your -d parameter has special characters that are not escaped. Try putting quotes around your -d url. It will prevent your command from getting truncated and misinterpreted at & signs..
HTH!

Mashape multipart-form POST request

I have a POST method in my API which uses multipart encoded form data. I have set up the correct header and data settings so that the mashape web interface generated the following curl:
curl -X POST --include 'https://sslavov-text-analytics-v1.p.mashape.com/news' \
-H 'Authorization: Basic ***********' \
-H 'X-Mashape-Key: ************' \
-H 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
-F 'file=#sample.docx' \
-F 'meta={"documentType": "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document"};type=application/json'
Basically i'm trying to upload a file with a simple paragraph of text for processing. The curious part is that when I run this exact curl in a bash script, everything works smoothly, but when I try to run it through mashape, it says either 400 Bad Request or 500 Internal Server Error
In my particular case, these errors are generated when I don't pass correct form or headers. So my question is: Is there an error in the curl syntax or should I keep looking for the error on server side?
EDIT: I figured out what the problem was. -F 'file=#sample.docx' was passed before -F 'meta....' and that was causing the 500 Internal Server Error So now the question is: Is there any way to specifically arrange the order of the form fields (because mashape rearranges them aplhabetically)?

Creating JIRA issue using curl from command line

I've been through documentation here according to which I'm creating a issue for JIRA . I know I'm making some terribly small mistake .
I'm trying to create a new JIRA request from command line (later I'll integrate in my java code)
From my Mac terminal I'm trying to run :
curl -D- -u username:password -X POST --data {"fields":{"project":{"key": “PROJECTKEY"},"summary": "REST ye merry gentlemen.","description": "Creating of an issue using project keys and issue type names using the REST API","issuetype": {"name": "Bug"}}} -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://mycompanyname.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/issue/
I believe this has something to do with the "data".
Thanks in advance. The example has been taken from the documentation link itself.
OUTPUT : I'm getting nothing in my terminal, no error, no expected output .
PROJECTKEY is taken from the KEY column from the All Project list in my DASHBOARD.

Two things are off:
you need to put the data that you want to post in quotes
the first double quote surrounding PROJECT_KEY is a unicode character instead of a regular double quote, so change “PROJECTKEY" to "PROJECTKEY"
This should work:
curl -D- -u username:password -X POST --data '{"fields":{"project":{"key": "PROJECTKEY"},"summary": "REST ye merry gentlemen.","description": "Creating of an issue using project keys and issue type names using the REST API","issuetype": {"name": "Bug"}}}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://mycompanyname.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/issue/

POST request with Powershell 2.0 using cURL

Scenario
Among other things, Powershell 2.0 doesn't have the useful cmdlet Invoke-RestMethod.
I can't upgrade to version 3 and most examples I've found use version 3.
I have found this article, which seems, however, too complicated for my simple scenario.
I need to write a Powershell script that POSTs data in Json format, e.g.
{"Id":5,"Email":"test#com","DataFields":null,"Status":0}
What I've tried
I am able to GET data. This is one of the scripts I have tried.
curl -v --user username:password https://api.dotmailer.com/v2/account-info
But, when I try to POST, I can't figure out where to put the body of the message in the script. This is what I've got so far:
curl -v -X POST -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -u username:password -d '{"Id":5,"Email":"test#com","OptInType":0,"EmailType":0, "DataFields":null,"Status":0}' https://api.dotmailer.com/v2/contacts
which returns the following error:
{"message":"Could not parse the body of the request based on the content type \"application/json\" ERROR_BODY_DOES_NOT_MATCH_CONTENT_TYPE"}*
Question
Can anyone advise on how to POST Json data from Powershell using cURL?
Any pointers to why I get the error I mentioned in the Waht I've tried section would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Note that the question is about the curl.exe external program, not about PowerShell's Invoke-WebRequest cmdlet (which, unfortunately, is aliased to curl in later PowerShell versions, preempting calls to the external program unless the .exe extension is explicitly specified (curl.exe ...).
Unfortunately and unexpectedly, you have to \-escape embedded " instances in a string you pass as an argument to an external program.
Therefore, even though:
'{"Id":5,"Email":"test#com","DataFields":null,"Status":0}'
should work, it doesn't, due to a long-standing bug; instead, you must use:
'{\"Id\":5,\"Email\":\"test#com\",\"DataFields\":null,\"Status\":0}'
See this answer for more information.

From curl's man page it appears you need to use -d switch:
curl -v --user username:password -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"Id":5,"Email":"test#com","DataFields":null,"Status":0}' https://api.dotmailer.com/v2/contacts

Curl thowing error while trying to query JIRA with strings in field filter

I need some help with my perl script.
I am new to perl and using curl and despite a lot of searching/ trial and error I am still stumped.
I am trying to use CURL to retrieve a set of jira issues based on the provided JQL.
Unfortunately I am having issues with spaces when I search fields like summary:
my $jql = JiraUrl.'search?jql=summary~"Some%20Silly%20Issue"';
When I curl this...
my $jsonResponse = `curl -D- -u $user:$password -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" $jql`;
I get an error ..
{"errorMessages":["Error in the JQL Query: Expecting either \'OR\' or \'AND\' but got \'Silly\'. (line 1, character 77)"],"errors":{}}';
Basicly when I escape the " " with %20 it ignores the "'s
Any help for how to get around this?

It looks like it's a shell escaping issue. The quotes are being interpreted by the shell. Try this:
my $jsonResponse = `curl -D- -u $user:$password -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" '$jql'`;
