CURL Command basics
cURL (Client URL) is a command-line file transfer tool that works with URL syntax and supports many protocols (HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, etc.). In web development and API debugging, cURL is one of the most widely used command-line tools。
Common cURL options explained
-X, --request <method>
Specify the HTTP request method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH, etc.))
curl -X POST https://api.example.com/users
-H, --header <header>
Add custom HTTP headers; use repeatedly to add multiple headers
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer token" https://api.example.com
-d, --data <data>
Send POST data; Content-Type is automatically set to application/x-www-form-urlencoded
curl -d "name=John&age=30" https://api.example.com/users
-u, --user <user:password>
HTTPBasic authentication with username and password
curl -u username:password https://api.example.com/protected
-i, --include
Include HTTP response headers in the output
curl -i https://api.example.com/users
-v, --verbose
Output detailed request and response information for debugging
curl -v https://api.example.com/users
-k, --insecure
Skip SSL certificate verification, for test environments (not recommended in production))
curl -k https://self-signed.example.com
Common use cases
Send a GET request
curl -X GET "https://api.example.com/users?page=1&limit=10"
Send JSON data
curl -X POST "https://api.example.com/users" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"name":"John","email":"[email protected]"}'
Bearer TokenAuthentication
curl -X GET "https://api.example.com/profile" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer your_token_here"
File upload
curl -X POST "https://api.example.com/upload" \
-F "file=@/path/to/file.pdf"
Why convert to code?
