trying to pass user name and password dynamically to Curl POST command, but it is throwing errors as unable to Validate user name and password
The command is working fine if the username and password is hardcoded.
Static Command:
curl -i -X POST https://somewebsite.com/service/nonuilogin \
-H 'Accept:application/json' \
-H 'content-type:application/json' \
-H 'host:somewebsite.com' \
-d '{"ping_uname":"serviceaccount","ping_pwd":"acc#123"}'
Dynamic command:
curl -i -X POST https://somewebsite.com/service/nonuilogin \
-H 'Accept:application/json' \
-H 'content-type:application/json' \
-H 'host:somewebsite.com' \
-d '{"ping_uname":"$user_name","ping_pwd":"$password"}'
{
"error": "Unable to log in user. Validate that the username/password are valid",
"translationKey": "FD_AUTH_USER_UNABLE_TO_VALIDATE"
Thanks in Advance

I want to send this string inside a CURL request from shell script :
"google-site-verification=O_Kd7lqvCvpBz7fzEeUKGVKBmsAsfJgaJuh3PZRnrsk"
To do that I'm using this script :
OVH_HTTP_METHOD="POST"
OVH_HTTP_QUERY="$OVH_API_URL/$OVH_API_END_POINT_DOMAIN_ZONE_DNS/domain.com/$OVH_API_END_POINT_DOMAIN_ZONE_DNS_RECORD"
OVH_FIELD_TYPE="TXT"
OVH_SUB_DOMAIN=""
OVH_TARGET=""google-site-verification=O_Kd7lqvCvpBz7fzEeUKGVKBmsAsfJgaJuh3PZRnrsk""
OVH_HTTP_BODY="{\"fieldType\":\"$OVH_FIELD_TYPE\",\"subDomain\":\"$OVH_SUB_DOMAIN\",\"target\":\"$OVH_TARGET\"}"
curl -X $OVH_HTTP_METHOD \
$OVH_HTTP_QUERY \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "X-Ovh-Application: $OVH_API_APPLICATION_KEY" \
-H "X-Ovh-Timestamp: $OVH_TIME" \
-H "X-Ovh-Signature: $OVH_SIG" \
-H "X-Ovh-Consumer: $OVH_API_CONSUMER_KEY" \
--data "$OVH_HTTP_BODY"
But I get systematically this error message :
{"message":"Invalid JSON received","httpCode":"400 Bad Request","errorCode":"INVALID_JSON"}
UPDATE with curl -v :
Do you have any idea to solve that?
Thanks

solution found below : variable has to be escaped like this :
OVH_TARGET="\\\"google-site-verification=O_Kd7lqvCvpBz7fzEeUKGVKBmsAsfJgaJuh3PZRnrsk\\\""
I want to call REST API by passing json input.
I have following details-
username
apitoken
apiurl
Jsonfile
I have already tried
curl -d #Metadata.json -H "Content-Type: application/json" <> --user xyz:apitoken --insecure
but i m getting null values for all the parameters in the json file.
What am i doing wrong here?
Simple Solution would be to create a sample postman with above details then follow below steps -
Click on the code icon.
Choose cURL from the drop-down.
There’s your cURL command
Sample curl command -
curl -X POST \
https://something.com/endpoint \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Postman-Token: 1f0fcc007739' \
-H 'apikey: CSZftBtR0WaN' \
-H 'cache-control: no-cache' \
-d '{
"Id": "5de675",
"xxxxx": "500081"
}'
I've started picking up bash scripting and I'm stuck at something I'm trying to wrap my head around.
I have a curl command that outputs a token and I need to use it in the following command:
curl -k 'https://server:port/session' -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"username":"admin","password":"password"}'
It then outputs a token here:
{"token":"ac07098ad59ca6f3fccea0e2a2f6cb080df55c9a52fc9d65"}
I then need to use it in the follow up command
curl https://server:port/ -k -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'X-Cookie:token=token' -d '
I was thinking I could output the token to a file, then have a sed command write the token to a file, then the new command use a variable where token=$token
Thanks!
This is where a JSON parsing tool comes in handy (such as jq):
$ echo '{"token":"ac07098ad59ca6f3fccea0e2a2f6cb080df55c9a52fc9d65"}' | jq -r .token
ac07098ad59ca6f3fccea0e2a2f6cb080df55c9a52fc9d65
So
json=$( curl -k 'https://server:port/session' -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"username":"admin","password":"password"}' )
token=$( jq -r ".token" <<<"$json" )
curl https://server:port/ -k -X POST -H "X-Cookie:token=$token" ...
With no further tool than a bash (tested Centos/Rhel7/GitBash) :
json=$(curl -k 'https://server:port/session' \
-X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"username":"admin","password":"password"}') \
&& token=$(echo $json | sed "s/{.*\"token\":\"\([^\"]*\).*}/\1/g") \
&& echo "token = $token"
then use your authentication needing commands like that :
curl https://server:port/ -k -X POST \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'X-Cookie:token=$token' -d ...'
If Python is installed, and hopefully it is on modern systems, you can do something like:
OUTPUT="$(curl -k 'https://server:port/session' -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"username":"admin","password":"password"}' | python -c "import sys, json; print json.load(sys.stdin)['token']")"
This will give you:
echo $OUTPUT
ec2e99a1d294fd4bc0a04da852ecbdeed3b55671c08cc09f
Use the `` syntax:
cmd1result=$(command1 | cut -d ':' -f 2 | grep -Po "[a-z0-9-]+")
command2 $cmd1result
For Prase REST API, we can have
curl -X GET \
-H "X-Parse-Application-Id: Y6i5v9PQOAAGlnKnULJJu5odT72ffSCpOnqqPhx9" \
-H "X-Parse-REST-API-Key: T6STkwY6XqVMySTbqeSZfmli3naZZK9KoxnAcEhR" \
-G \
--data-url-encode 'where={"username":"someUser"}' \
https://api.parse.com/1/users
Now I'm trying to send the request without --data-url-encode, but to append the related query into the URL https://api.parse.com/1/users, what shall I do?
I tried
curl -X GET \
-H "X-Parse-Application-Id: Y6i5v9PQOAAGlnKnULJJu5odT72ffSCpOnqqPhx9" \
-H "X-Parse-REST-API-Key: T6STkwY6XqVMySTbqeSZfmli3naZZK9KoxnAcEhR" \
-G \
https://api.parse.com/1/users?where={"username":"someUser"}
but it doesn't work.
Thank you.
First encode where={"username":"someUser"} to where%3D%7B%22username%22%3A%22someUser%22%7D, then
curl -X GET \
-H "X-Parse-Application-Id: Y6i5v9PQOAAGlnKnULJJu5odT72ffSCpOnqqPhx9" \
-H "X-Parse-REST-API-Key: T6STkwY6XqVMySTbqeSZfmli3naZZK9KoxnAcEhR" \
-G \
https://api.parse.com/1/users?where%3D%7B%22username%22%3A%22someUser%22%7D
works
I can successfully create a place via curl executing the following command:
$ curl -vX POST https://server/api/v1/places.json -d "
auth_token=B8dsbz4HExMskqUa6Qhn& \
place[name]=Fuelstation Central& \
place[city]=Grossbeeren& \
place[address]=Buschweg 1& \
place[latitude]=52.3601& \
place[longitude]=13.3332& \
place[washing]=true& \
place[founded_at_year]=2000& \
place[products][]=diesel& \
place[products][]=benzin \
"
The server returns HTTP/1.1 201 Created.
Now I want to store the payload in a JSON file which looks like this:
// testplace.json
{
"auth_token" : "B8dsbz4HExMskqUa6Qhn",
"name" : "Fuelstation Central",
"city" : "Grossbeeren",
"address" : "Buschweg 1",
"latitude" : 52.3601,
"longitude" : 13.3332,
"washing" : true,
"founded_at_year" : 2000,
"products" : ["diesel","benzin"]
}
So I modify the command to be executed like this:
$ curl -vX POST http://server/api/v1/places.json -d #testplace.json
This fails returning HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized. Why?
curl sends POST requests with the default content type of application/x-www-form-urlencoded. If you want to send a JSON request, you will have to specify the correct content type header:
$ curl -vX POST http://server/api/v1/places.json -d #testplace.json \
--header "Content-Type: application/json"
But that will only work if the server accepts json input. The .json at the end of the url may only indicate that the output is json, it doesn't necessarily mean that it also will handle json input. The API documentation should give you a hint on whether it does or not.
The reason you get a 401 and not some other error is probably because the server can't extract the auth_token from your request.
To clarify how to actually specify a file that contains the JSON to post, note that it's with the # sign as shown in the OP
e.g. a typical post to a local .NET Core API:
curl -X POST https://localhost:5001/api -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d #/some/directory/some.json
You can cat the contents of a json file to curl via the --data-raw parameter
curl https://api.com/route -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-raw "$(cat ~/.json/payload-2022-03-03.json | grep -v '^\s*//')"
curl https://api.com/route -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d #<(jq . ~/.json/payload-2022-03-03.json)
curl https://api.com/route -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d #<(jq '{"payload": .}' < ~/.json/payload-2022-03-03.json)
Note: comments in the json file are filtered out via grep -v '^\s*//'
You can also pass the data to curl via stdin using grep or cat or jq
grep -v '^\s*//' ~/.json/payload-2022-03-03.json | curl https://api.com/route -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d #-
cat ~/.json/payload-2022-03-03.json | grep -v '^\s*//' | curl https://api.com/route -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d #-
jq . ~/.json/payload-2022-03-03.json | curl https://api.com/route -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d #-
jq '{"payload": .}' < ~/.json/payload-2022-03-03.json | curl https://api.com/route -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d #-
