Curl is a command-line tool and library for transferring data with URLs.
It supports various protocols including HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, FTPS, and many more.
In this article, we will explore how to use curl to make GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE requests using the jsontypecode endpoint as an example.
Installing Curl
If you don't have curl installed on your system, you can download it from the official website for your operating system.
Alternatively, you can use package managers like Homebrew for macOS or apt-get for Ubuntu to install curl.
Making a GET Request
To make a GET request using curl, you can simply provide the URL as an argument. Here's an example:
curl https://api.example.com/jsontypecode
This will send a GET request to the specified URL and display the response in the terminal.
Making a POST Request
To make a POST request using curl, you need to use the
-X option followed by the HTTP method, and the -d option followed by the data to send. Here's an example:curl -X POST -d '{"name": "John Doe", "age": 30}' https://api.example.com/jsontypecode
This will send a POST request with the specified JSON data to the URL and display the response in the terminal.
Making a PUT Request
To make a PUT request using curl, you can use the
-X option followed by the HTTP method, and the -d option followed by the data to send. Here's an example:curl -X PUT -d '{"name": "Jane Doe", "age": 35}' https://api.example.com/jsontypecode/123
This will send a PUT request with the specified JSON data to the URL with the specified ID and display the response in the terminal.
Making a DELETE Request
To make a DELETE request using curl, you can use the
-X option followed by the HTTP method. Here's an example:curl -X DELETE https://api.example.com/jsontypecode/123
This will send a DELETE request to the URL with the specified ID and display the response in the terminal.
