Hi I am using cURL command to upload a file which is a POST request to my local machine service.
I am using following commands to upload
curl -i -X POST -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" -F
"/Users/myName/Folder/file.csv" http://localhost:port/api/fileupload
In my application side I am using spring frameworks web binding to receive the file
Following is the code snippet
public ResponseEntity importDimensions(#RequestBody MultipartFile file) {
// file is variable is always null
}
What am I missing here?
You need an # sign before the filename, like this: #/Users/myName/Folder/file.csv.
And if your server-side code is expecting a parameter named file then you need to do this:
-F "file=#/Users/myName/Folder/file.csv"

I'm writing a bash script to interface with my ecobee (query info and change settings). I have the authorization all worked out (access token and refresh token) and am now trying to request info from the ecobee. This json parameter list is dynamically created. None of the curl examples in the Developers API Doc seem to work.
I've tried assigning the json to a variable (?json="$selection") and to a file (?json=#"$location"). My latest attempt (hard coding the json and escaping the braces) of the curl is as follows:
response=$(curl -s "https://api.ecobee.com/1/thermostat?json=\{"selection":\{"selectionType":"registered","selectionMatch":null,"includeRuntime":true,"includeSettings":true/}/}" -H "Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8" -H "Authorization: Bearer $access_token")
and I received a null response declare -- response=""
If I have curl read from a file:
{"selection":{"selectionType":"registered","selectionMatch":null,"includeRuntime":true,"includeSettings":true}}
then I receive:
response='{
"status": {
"code": 4,
"message": "Serialization error. Malformed json. Check your request and parameters are valid."
}
}'
Which I assuming it' an escape issue?
Can anyone offer any insight? Again, I thought this would be the easy part. I'm using jq to build my request json. Other alternatives to curl that can better deal with json? I'm limited to bash (which is what I know)
Thanks
To integrate (arbitrary) data into a URL (or URI in general) you need to prepare it using percent-encoding first.
As you have mentioned to use jq to compose that data, you could add #uri to your jq filter to perform the encoding, and use the --raw-output (or -r) option to then output it properly.
For example, jq -r '#uri' applied to your JSON
{
"selection": {
"selectionType": "registered",
"selectionMatch": null,
"includeRuntime": true,
"includeSettings": true
}
}
would output
%7B%22selection%22%3A%7B%22selectionType%22%3A%22registered%22%2C%22selectionMatch%22%3Anull%2C%22includeRuntime%22%3Atrue%2C%22includeSettings%22%3Atrue%7D%7D
which you can use within the query string ?json=….
I am trying to upload a zip file to Google drive account using curl.
The file is uploaded successfully but the filename is not getting updated. It gets uploaded with default filename i.e. "Untitled".
I am using below command.
curl -k -H "Authorization: Bearer cat /tmp/token.txt" -F "metadata={name : 'backup.zip'} --data-binary "#backup.zip" https://www.googleapis.com/upload/drive/v2/files?uploadType=multipart
You can use Drive API v3 to upload the zip file. The modified curl code is as follows.
curl -X POST -L \
-H "Authorization: Bearer `cat /tmp/token.txt`" \
-F "metadata={name : 'backup.zip'};type=application/json;charset=UTF-8" \
-F "file=#backup.zip;type=application/zip" \
"https://www.googleapis.com/upload/drive/v3/files?uploadType=multipart"
In order to use this, please include https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive in the scope.
The answer above works fine and was the command I used in uploading my file to Google Drive using Curl. However, I didn't understand what scope was and all of the initial setup required to make this command work. Hence, for documentation purposes. I'll give a second answer.
Valid as at the time of writing...
Visit the Credentials page and create a new credential (this is assuming you have created a project). I created credentials for TVs and Limited devices, so the work flow was similar to:
Create credentials > OAuth client ID > Application Type > TVs and Limited Input devices > Named the client > Clicked Create.
After doing this, I was able to copy the Client ID and Client Secret when viewing the newly created credential.
NB: Only the variables with double asterisk from the Curl commands should be replaced.
Next step was to run the Curl command:
curl -d "client_id=**client_id**&scope=**scope**" https://oauth2.googleapis.com/device/code
Scope in this situation can be considered to be the kind of access you intend to have with the credential having the inputted client_id. More about scope from the docs For the use case in focus, which is to upload files, the scope chosen was https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file.
On running the curl command above, you'll get a response similar to:
{ "device_code": "XXXXXXXXXXXXX", "user_code": "ABCD-EFGH",
"expires_in": 1800, "interval": 5, "verification_url":
"https://www.google.com/device" }
Next step is to visit the verification_url in the response in your browser, provide the user_code and accept requests for permissions. You will be presented with a code when all prompts have been followed, this code wasn't required for the remaining steps (but there may be some reasons to use it for other use cases).
Next step is to use the Curl command:
curl -d client_id=**client_id** -d client_secret=**client_secret** -d device_code=**device_code** -d grant_type=urn%3Aietf%3Aparams%3Aoauth%3Agrant-type%3Adevice_code https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token
You will get a response similar to:
{ "access_token": "XXXXXXXXX", "expires_in": 3599,
"refresh_token": "XXXXXXXXX", "scope":
"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file", "token_type": "Bearer"
}
Now you can use the access token and follow the accepted answer with a Curl command similar to:
curl -X POST -L \
-H "Authorization: Bearer **access_token**" \
-F "metadata={name : 'backup.zip'};type=application/json;charset=UTF-8" \
-F "file=#backup.zip;type=application/zip" \
"https://www.googleapis.com/upload/drive/v3/files?uploadType=multipart"
I am working on Windows10 and tried to load a geojson file into my couchdb via the "curl" command and a POST request in the cmd which looks like that:
C:\Program Files\cURL\bin>curl -d #path-to-my-data\data.geojson -H "Content-type: application/json" -X POST http://127.0.0.1:5984/_utils/database.html?-dbName-
and then I get the following error:
{"error":"method_not_allowed","reason":"Only GET,HEAD allowed"}
On http://couchdb-13.readthedocs.org/en/latest/api-basics/ it is said, that "If you use the an unsupported HTTP request type with a URL that does not support the specified type, a 405 error will be returned, listing the supported HTTP methods."
When I try that with a PUT request, I get the same error.
I validated the json with jsonlint so this should not be the problem.
I tried several tutorials like "Three Steps to CouchDB Heaven …" or "Export & Import a Database with CouchDB" but none of them seems to work.
So I am not sure, where the problem is. Do I need to make changes in my geojson file, or something else?
thanks for your help
The needed curl command just looks like that:
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST http://localhost:5984/db -d #C:\Users\Name\Desktop\data.geojson
I'm trying to scrape some public data from imgur.com using the v3 imgur api but whenever I make a request using curl I'm getting a 401.
This is how I'm calling the API (using this example from the example python app) -
curl -F "Authorization=Client-ID <my_client_id_provided_by_registering_my_app>" https://api.imgur.com/3/gallery/hot/viral/0.json
I've also tried
curl -F "client_id=<my_client_id>" https://api.imgur.com/3/gallery/hot/viral/0.json
So my question is, what format is the imgur api expecting for the auth header and how can I leverage it using curl or some other common bash utility?
The switch -F (or --form) is for sending HTTP forms. What you should use instead is -H (--header):
curl --header "Authorization: Client-ID $YOUR_ID" https://api.imgur.com/3/gallery/hot/viral/0.json
I'm trying to render adocument using docverter from httpie. All the examples are for Curl. I tried
http -f POST http://c.docverter.com/convert from=markdown to=html input_files#example.txt --output out.html
But the website throws an error
TypeError at /convert
can't convert Symbol into Integer
You had it pretty close. Your http invocation should look like this:
http --form -f POST http://c.docverter.com/convert from=markdown to=html input_files[]#example.md --output out.html && open out.html
While debugging I found a bad typo and shipped v1.0.1 and installed it on the public instance.
