Sending POST Request from bash script












2














I want to execute a bash script after i make a POST request.So far i am using Postman for sending the request , but i was wondering if i can somehow do it from a bash script as well with a json file as parameter.



I have looked into curl so far but it does not work:



bash file



curl -X POST -d req.json http://localhost:9500


Json file (req.json)



{
"id":5,
"name":"Dan",
"age":33,
"cnp":33,
"children":100,
"isMarried":0
}


I just get the error :



HTTP/1.0 503 Service Unavailable


with the trailing HTML

          curl should do the job. This will send a normal POST request using the data in req.json as the body:



          curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @req.json http://localhost:9500


          The elements you were missing are -H "Content-Type: application/json" and the @ in the data flag. Without the -H flag as above curl will send a content type of application/x-www-form-urlencoded, which most applications won't accept if they expect JSON. The @ in the -d flag informs curl that you are passing a file name; otherwise it uses the text itself (i.e. "req.json") as the data.
