In curl help I see (for example) :
-d, --data DATA HTTP POST data (H)
What does the --data mean ? Does it mean I can use -d or --data ?

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!
I am able to call private user API through code like this:
curl -X POST -H "Accept: application/json" -H "API-Key: mykey" -H "API-Sign: mysign" -d "nonce=123" https://api.kraken.com/0/private/Balance
feedback is telling me how much USD and ETH i have left in my account.
but when I switch to this trying to send order:
curl -X POST -H "Accept: application/json" -H "API-Key: mykey" -H "API-Sign: mysign" -d "nonce=123" 'https://api.kraken.com/0/private/AddOrder?pair=XXBTZUSD&type=buy&ordertype=market&volume=0.01'
it says {"error":["EGeneral:Invalid arguments"]}, how can i fix it?
It seems you need to set the Content-Type header to whatever it is. In this case application/x-www-form-urlencoded. Bit odd that it's not in the docs.
I am trying to follow the documentation from timekit.io. I am attempting to do something as simple as send a curl request to do basic authentication as seen in this section of the docs. I have replaced the Timekit-App:name-of-app with the name of my app which I found in the app-settings of my timekit account. I also replaced the email & password with the one's I use to login into my account.
I simply copied and pasted the curl command as is into my terminal and I get a response that says {"error":"Content-type should be json!"} I am not sure if I am not supposed to copy and paste it as is, or what I may be doing wrong, but my understanding is I am supposed to get a json response with a email and a api token among some other data.
Here is my curl command.
curl -X POST \
-H 'Timekit-App: jl-fit' \
-d '{
"email": "email#email.com",
"password": "password"
}' \
https://api.timekit.io/v2/auth
Looks like you have discovered a bug in their docs/examples.
The API you're connecting to expects JSON content type, but curl by default (for POSTing data) uses application/x-www-form-urlencoded. You can fix it by adding the header field explicitly with: -H 'Content-Type: application/json'.
Also, when you use the -d/--data option, method defaults to POST, so it doesn't have to be specified explicitly.
All put together, this should work:
curl \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Timekit-App: jl-fit' \
-d '{"email": "email#email.com", "password": "password"}' \
"https://api.timekit.io/v2/auth"
When having multiple arguments, it can be convenient to keep them in an array (no need to escape newlines). For example:
args=(
-H 'Content-Type: application/json'
-H 'Timekit-App: jl-fit'
-d '{"email": "email#email.com", "password": "password"}'
"https://api.timekit.io/v2/auth"
)
curl "${args[#]}"
I have a URL like below that I use for query
http://<ip>:<port>/api/test/computers?token=a124af&criteria={"and":[["name","=","comp_name"]]}
I was writing a script for this and using curl to download the results from the url. But I am not able to get curl to work. Here is what i tried
curl http://<ip>:<port>/api/test/computers?token=a124af&criteria={"and":[["name","=","comp_name"]]}
-- This runs curl http://:/api/test/computers?token=a124af in background mode.
I know I can pass json data like curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '' . But in this case I have a mix of json as well as other data. How can i achieve that? this does not seem to work
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data "{"and":[["name","=","comp_name"]]}" "http://<ip>:<port>/api/test/computers?token=a124af&criteria="
I try to lock a file via the API BOX but I encounted issue.
I use the code provided the api documenation (https://developers.box.com/docs/ Lock and Unlock section) but the code does not work.
curl https://api.box.com/2.0/files/xxxxxx\
> -H "Authorization: Bearer xxxxxx" \
> -d "lock": null \
> -X PUT
and the return of the API:
{"type":"error","status":400,"code":"bad_request","context_info":{"errors":[{"reason":"invalid_parameter","name":"entity-body","message":"Invalid value 'lock:'. Entity body should be a correctly nested resource attribute name\/value pair"}]},"help_url":"http:\/\/developers.box.com\/docs\/#errors","message":"Bad Request","request_id":"xxxxxxxxx"}curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host 'null'
I did the test by trying to locke a file : same problem.
Several questions:
Is that the lock function has already work? Do you know if box has
changed its code ?
Any help is welcome :)

I had an answer by Suppor team :
There was a typo in the docs. Please try the command again:
Lock:
curl https://api.box.com/2.0/files/FILE_ID
-H "Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN"
-d '{"lock": {"type": "lock","expires_at": "2015-12-12T10:55:30-08:00","is_download_prevented": false}}'
-X PUT
Unlock:
curl https://api.box.com/2.0/files/FILE_ID
-H "Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN"
-d '{"lock": null}'
-X PUT
