curl can't list tenants servers - api

I'm trying to list some info API style :) and what i have done till now is the following:
Using "curl" i can get the token out, with the token i can list the tenants, but after that i can't list the servers and other information. From the conductore if i execute the "nova --debug list --all-tenants" i get the results and get the commands that are executed with curl. So when im trying this from outside i get an error "404" The resource could not be found.
curl -i 'http://x.x.x.x:8774/v2/tenants/' -X GET -H "X-Auth-Token: <Token_ID>" -H "X-Auth-Project-Id: admin" -H "User-Agent: python-novaclient" -H "Accept: application/json"
And with the following command i don't get errors but i get some strange results:
curl -i 'http://x.x.x.x:8774/v2.0/<Tenant_ID>/servers' -X ET -H "X-Auth-Token: <Token_ID>" -H "X-Auth-Project-Id: <Tenant_ID>" -H "User-Agent: python-novaclient" -H "Accept: application/json"
and the output is:
HTTP/1.1 300 Multiple Choices
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Length: 357 Date: Sun, 03 Apr
2016 21:59:48 GMT Connection: close
{"choices": [{"status": "CURRENT",
"media-types": [{"base":
"application/xml", "type":
"application/vnd.openstack.compute+xml;version=2"},
{"base": "application/json", "type":
"application/vnd.openstack.compute+json;version=2"}],
"id": "v2.0", "links": [{"href":
"http://x.x.x.x:8774/v2/v2.0/<Tenant_ID>/servers",
"rel": "self"}]}]}
So my question is what is wrong here, i get output for tokens and listing tenants but i can't get output for listing servers ??
Thanks in advanced !

I tried to find what is wrong with your curl - made requests to my host, but the answer is in the surface-response, obviously :)
You are trying to connect to nova service with version 2.0, but you have endpoint only with version=2 by default, so version must be 2.
Go to http://x.x.x.x/horizon/project/access_and_security/
and check the "API Access" tab, there are endpoints look to the compute one and use it to connect to service.
For example my compute service have endpoint:
Compute http://controller:8774/v2/004e4c0366b74300b875adfd2c1bca4c
Take them to connect to services by curl.

How do I send a POST request via the command line in Windows [duplicate]

I use Ubuntu and installed cURL on it. I want to test my Spring REST application with cURL. I wrote my POST code at the Java side. However, I want to test it with cURL. I am trying to post a JSON data. Example data is like this:
{"value":"30","type":"Tip 3","targetModule":"Target 3","configurationGroup":null,"name":"Configuration Deneme 3","description":null,"identity":"Configuration Deneme 3","version":0,"systemId":3,"active":true}
I use this command:
curl -i \
-H "Accept: application/json" \
-H "X-HTTP-Method-Override: PUT" \
-X POST -d "value":"30","type":"Tip 3","targetModule":"Target 3","configurationGroup":null,"name":"Configuration Deneme 3","description":null,"identity":"Configuration Deneme 3","version":0,"systemId":3,"active":true \
http://localhost:8080/xx/xxx/xxxx
It returns this error:
HTTP/1.1 415 Unsupported Media Type
Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
Content-Type: text/html;charset=utf-8
Content-Length: 1051
Date: Wed, 24 Aug 2011 08:50:17 GMT
The error description is this:
The server refused this request because the request entity is in a format not supported by the requested resource for the requested method ().
Tomcat log:
"POST /ui/webapp/conf/clear HTTP/1.1" 415 1051
What is the right format of the cURL command?
This is my Java side PUT code (I have tested GET and DELETE and they work):
#RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.PUT)
public Configuration updateConfiguration(HttpServletResponse response, #RequestBody Configuration configuration) { //consider #Valid tag
configuration.setName("PUT worked");
//todo If error occurs response.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_NOT_FOUND);
return configuration;
}
You need to set your content-type to application/json. But -d (or --data) sends the Content-Type application/x-www-form-urlencoded, which is not accepted on Spring's side.
Looking at the curl man page, I think you can use -H (or --header):
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
Full example:
curl --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--request POST \
--data '{"username":"xyz","password":"xyz"}' \
http://localhost:3000/api/login
(-H is short for --header, -d for --data)
Note that -request POST is optional if you use -d, as the -d flag implies a POST request.
On Windows, things are slightly different. See the comment thread.
Try to put your data in a file, say body.json and then use
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data #body.json http://localhost:8080/ui/webapp/conf
For Windows, having a single quote for the -d value did not work for me, but it did work after changing to double quote. Also I needed to escape double quotes inside curly brackets.
That is, the following did not work:
curl -i -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"key":"val"}' http://localhost:8080/appname/path
But the following worked:
curl -i -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{\"key\":\"val\"}" http://localhost:8080/appname/path
You might find resty useful:
It's a wrapper round CURL which simplifies command line REST requests. You point it to your API endpoint, and it gives you PUT and POST commands (Examples adapted from the homepage).
resty http://127.0.0.1:8080/data #Sets up resty to point at your endpoing
GET /blogs.json #Gets http://127.0.0.1:8080/data/blogs.json
#Put JSON
PUT /blogs/2.json '{"id" : 2, "title" : "updated post", "body" : "This is the new."}'
# POST JSON from a file
POST /blogs/5.json < /tmp/blog.json
Also, it's often still necessary to add the Content Type headers. You can do this once, though, to set a default, of add configuration files per-method per-site: Setting default RESTY options
It worked for me using:
curl -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"id":100}' http://localhost/api/postJsonReader.do
It was happily mapped to the Spring controller:
#RequestMapping(value = "/postJsonReader", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public #ResponseBody String processPostJsonData(#RequestBody IdOnly idOnly) throws Exception {
logger.debug("JsonReaderController hit! Reading JSON data!"+idOnly.getId());
return "JSON Received";
}
IdOnly is a simple POJO with an id property.
You can use Postman to convert to CURL:
Note:
The latest Postman version has some UI upgrades and now the code link is available in the sidebar.
As an example, create a JSON file, params.json, and add this content to it:
[
{
"environment": "Devel",
"description": "Machine for test, please do not delete!"
}
]
Then you run this command:
curl -v -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST --data #params.json -u your_username:your_password http://localhost:8000/env/add_server
I just run into the same problem. I could solve it by specifying
-H "Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8"
This worked well for me.
curl -X POST --data #json_out.txt http://localhost:8080/
Where,
-X Means the HTTP verb.
--data Means the data you want to send.
You can use Postman with its intuitive GUI to assemble your cURL command.
Install and Start Postman
Type in your URL, Post Body, Request Headers etc. pp.
Click on Code
Select cURL from the drop-down list
copy & paste your cURL command
Note: There are several options for automated request generation in the drop-down list, which is why I thought my post was neccessary in the first place.
HTTPie is a recommended alternative to curl because you can do just
http POST http://example.com/some/endpoint name=value name1=value1
It speaks JSON by default and will handle both setting the necessary header for you as well encoding data as valid JSON. There is also:
Some-Header:value
for headers, and
name==value
for query string parameters. If you have a large chunk of data, you can also read it from a file have it be JSON encoded:
field=#file.txt
Using CURL Windows, try this:
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type:application/json" -d "{\"firstName\": \"blablabla\",\"lastName\": \"dummy\",\"id\": \"123456\"}" http-host/_ah/api/employeeendpoint/v1/employee
TL;DR:
Use the holy trinity, jo + curl + jq (or fx):
jo value=30 type="Tip 3" targetModule="Target 3" configurationGroup=null name="Configuration Deneme 3" description=null identity="Configuration Deneme 3" | \
curl --json #- \
-X POST \
http://localhost:8080/xx/xxx/xxxx | \
jq
This will cover necessary headers that were missing: no need to explicitly define the Content-Type and Accept headers.
The new curl way with --json
Early March 2022, curl released a new command line parameter --json with version 7.82.0. This allows for a shortcut to send through JSON and eliminating the need to define the Content-Type that you had missing and Accept headers as these are automatically assumed, hence reducing risk of mistakes:
curl --json '{"tool": "curl"}' https://example.com/
But wait... there is more. Instead of defining the json parameter as a string to the curl command line, use the nifty jo CLI tool to define JSON as series of key value pairs and pipe the output through curl. Using jo only to define your JSON, it works this way:
> jo -p value=30 type="Tip 3" targetModule="Target 3" configurationGroup=null name="Configuration Deneme 3" description=null identity="Configuration Deneme 3"
version=0 systemId=3 active=true
{
"value": 30,
"type": "Tip 3",
"targetModule": "Target 3",
"configurationGroup": null,
"name": "Configuration Deneme 3",
"description": null,
"identity": "Configuration Deneme 3",
"version": 0,
"systemId": 3,
"active": true
}
Let's showcase this now with a similar curl command of yours but without extra headers and using jo + jq for nice output:
jo value=30 type="Tip 3" targetModule="Target 3" configurationGroup=null name="Configuration Deneme 3" description=null identity="Configuration Deneme 3" | \
curl --json #- \
-X POST \
http://localhost:8080/xx/xxx/xxxx | \
jq
Example with a free API
Using a free mock API for demonstration:
> jo title="Blog Post" body="lorem ipsum" userId=33 | \
curl --json #- \
-X POST \
https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts | \
jq
The output has a pretty format thanks to jq:
{
"title": "Blog Post",
"body": "lorem ipsum",
"userId": 33,
"id": 101
}
Use -d option to add payload
curl -X POST \
http://<host>:<port>/<path> \
-H 'Accept: application/json' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{
"foo": "bar",
"lorem": "ipsum"
}'
In addition:
use -X POST to use POST method
use -H 'Accept: application/json' to add accept type header
use -H 'Content-Type: application/json' to add content type header
If you're testing a lot of JSON send/responses against a RESTful interface, you may want to check out the Postman plug-in for Chrome (which allows you to manually define web service tests) and its Node.js-based Newman command-line companion (which allows you to automate tests against "collections" of Postman tests.) Both free and open!
This worked well for me, additionally using BASIC authentication:
curl -v --proxy '' --basic -u Administrator:password -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json"
--data-binary '{"value":"30","type":"Tip 3","targetModule":"Target 3","configurationGroup":null,"name":"Configuration Deneme 3","description":null,"identity":"Configuration Deneme 3","version":0,"systemId":3,"active":true}'
http://httpbin.org/post
Of course, you should never use BASIC authentication without SSL and a checked certificate.
I ran into this again today, using Cygwin's cURL 7.49.1 for Windows... And when using --data or --data-binary with a JSON argument, cURL got confused and would interpret the {} in the JSON as a URL template. Adding a -g argument to turn off cURL globbing fixed that.
See also Passing a URL with brackets to curl.
You could also put your JSON content in a file and pass it to curl using the --upload-file option via standard input, like this:
echo 'my.awesome.json.function({"do" : "whatever"})' | curl -X POST "http://url" -T -
This worked for me:
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d #./my_json_body.txt http://192.168.1.1/json
I had the issue of:
curl -X POST http://your-server-end-point -H "Content-Type: application/json"
-d #path-of-your-json-file.json
See, I did everything right. Only one thing - I missed "#" before the JSON file path.
I found one relevant go-to document on Internet - Common Options.
Here is another way to do it, if you have dynamic data to be included.
#!/bin/bash
version=$1
text=$2
branch=$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)
repo_full_name=$(git config --get remote.origin.url | sed 's/.*:\/\/github.com\///;s/.git$//')
token=$(git config --global github.token)
generate_post_data()
{
cat <<EOF
{
"tag_name": "$version",
"target_commitish": "$branch",
"name": "$version",
"body": "$text",
"draft": false,
"prerelease": false
}
EOF
}
echo "Create release $version for repo: $repo_full_name branch: $branch"
curl --data "$(generate_post_data)" "https://api.github.com/repos/$repo_full_name/releases?access_token=$token"
I am using the below format to test with a web server.
use -F 'json data'
Let's assume this JSON dict format:
{
'comment': {
'who':'some_one',
'desc' : 'get it'
}
}
Full example
curl -XPOST your_address/api -F comment='{"who":"some_one", "desc":"get it"}'
This worked for me for on Windows 10:
curl -d "{"""owner""":"""sasdasdasdasd"""}" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PUT http://localhost:8080/api/changeowner/CAR4
I made a tool called fetcher for this. It can send requests and format curl snippets:
Here's an example:
Example output:
curl -XGET -H "Accept: application/json" -d "{\"value\":\"30\",\"type\":\"Tip 3\",\"targetModule\":\"Target 3\",\"configurationGroup\":null,\"name\":\"Configuration Deneme 3\",\"description\":null,\"identity\":\"Configuration Deneme 3\",\"version\":0,\"systemId\":3,\"active\":true}" "http://localhost:8080/xx/xxx/xxxx"
For PowerShell I've used:
curl.exe -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data "#content.json" http://localhost:8080/appname/path
Where content.json was the name of the JSON file on my local containing the request, and curl.exe instead of just curl not to use the alias for Invoke-WebRequest.
Or if you want to specify directly the JSON:
curl.exe -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{\"username\":\"xyz\",\"password\":\"xyz\"}' http://localhost:8080/appname/path
-H to send something like content-type or an authentication token in the header
-d here adds your data
finally add a site link
Note: Don't forget to add an authentication token (if you have) for authentication credentials
curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Authorization: Token 2de403987713595a7955a9b4655b9e206d4294b3' -d '{"title":"Post test with curl", "body": "test body"}' http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/v1/feeds/
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*//')"
Note: comments in the JSON file are filtered out via grep -v '^\s*//'
You can also pass the data to curl via standard input using grep or cat.
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 #-
The issue is here:
HTTP/1.1 415 Unsupported Media Type
Server Login can't interpret the Media Type of this request, so it is parsing it as text/html
The media type of any resource is declared in the Content-Type
property of the request header
"accept" ... header will fail this request, so the following is required for any JSON request to be sent i.e. content-type
-H 'content-type: application/json'
Suppose data and URL are something like this
{"email": "admin#admin.com","password": "123456"}
http://localhost:5000/api/login
Then in Linux
curl http://localhost:5000/api/login -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{"email": "user#admin.com", "password": "123456"}'
In Windows (single quotes around parameters will not work)
curl http://localhost:5000/api/login -H "content-type: application/json" -d "{\"email\": \"user#admin.com\", \"password\": \"123456\"}"
-X POST key is not required when -d {.....} is present in command.
For a PUT request:
-X PUT
Based on Anand Rockzz's answer, here is what I did to this on GitHub Actions. It was a bit tricky due to the EOF tag.
My goal was to send an HTTP call once a Vercel deployment was finished (similar to a webhook).
This real-world example might help other people.

dremio list user API

I'm trying to query dremio using the documented API to get list of users.

Can't load some ontologies from URL via GraphDB API

I can load the MonDO ontology into GraphDB Free 9 with the /rest/data/import/upload/{repositoryID}/url method with this body:
{
"context": "http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/mondo.owl",
"data": "https://github.com/monarch-initiative/mondo/releases/download/current/mondo.owl",
"format": "RDF/XML"
}
I can also load this via the Workbench, but not programatically:
http://data.bioontology.org/ontologies/ICD9CM/submissions/17/download?apikey=8b5b7825-538d-40e0-9e9e-5ab9274a9aeb
I set the format line to "Turtle" and I'm getting 202 responses, but the workbench doesn't show any import. It seems like some of the time I see error messages on the workbench's import page, but I don't understand what corrective action to take.
For example, if I intentionally import ICD9 via the workbench, with the wrong format (RDF/XML), then I see
RDF Parse Error: Content is not allowed in prolog. [line 2, column 1]
curl 'http://localhost:7200/rest/data/import/upload/w2/url' -H 'Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8' -H 'Accept: application/json, text/plain, */*' --data-binary '{"type":"url","name":"http://data.bioontology.org/ontologies/ICD9CM/submissions/17/download?apikey=8b5b7825-538d-40e0-9e9e-5ab9274a9aeb","format":"text/turtle","data":"http://data.bioontology.org/ontologies/ICD9CM/submissions/17/download?apikey=8b5b7825-538d-40e0-9e9e-5ab9274a9aeb","status":"NONE","message":"","context":"","replaceGraphs":[],"baseURI":null,"forceSerial":false,"timestamp":1534939094325,"parserSettings":{"preserveBNodeIds":false,"failOnUnknownDataTypes":false,"verifyDataTypeValues":false,"normalizeDataTypeValues":false,"failOnUnknownLanguageTags":false,"verifyLanguageTags":true,"normalizeLanguageTags":false,"verifyURISyntax":true,"verifyRelativeURIs":true,"stopOnError":true}}
GraphDB handles api key but you should provide file format in the way up or "format":"text/turtle". Hope this helps.
Thanks to Sava from Ontotext, I was able to construct this minimal curl command that successfully loads the ICD9CM Turtle file from the NCBO BioPortal.
curl -d \
'{"type":"url","format":"text/turtle","data":"http://data.bioontology.org/ontologies/ICD9CM/submissions/17/download?apikey=8b5b7825-538d-40e0-9e9e-5ab9274a9aeb","context":"http://data.bioontology.org/ontologies/ICD9CM/"}' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8' \
-X POST http://localhost:7200/rest/data/import/upload/disease_diagnosis_dev/url
I left out many of the keys, including the timestamp and all of the parserSettings.
I used the - d ... -X POST curl style instead of the --data-binary style
I don't claim to know all of the consequences of those decisions.
Here's my approach in R
library(httr)
post.endpoint <- "http://localhost:7200//rest/data/import/upload/disease_diagnosis_dev/url"
update.body <- '{
"type":"url",

If you want to perform regular updates I advise you to put each file in its own graph (using the "context":"<file's url>") and then replace it with "replaceGraphs":"<file's url>". The database will create a delta and update only the changed statements.

how to send correct curl command to webserver

So I got the data that is being sent to a specific server. Now I want to do the same using curl from my local machine to play around with specific repsonses from the server and learn more about curl as well.
Here is part of my data
POST /auth HTTP/1.1
platform: android
X-Auth-Token: <censored>
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
Host: api.blabla.com
Accept-Encoding: gzip
And the data that is being sent:
{"blabla_token": "sdsadsad", "blahblah_id": "23213", "locale": "us"}
Now when I try cURL in my dos shell, I try
curl --insecure -X POST https://api.blabla.com/auth --data '{"blabla_token": "sdsadsad", "blahblah_id": "23213", "locale": "us"}'
The response I get from cURL is this:
{"code":401,"error":"blablaTokenRequired"}
Even though I specified the token. So there are two possible scenarios because the token is correct:
It has something to do with the SSL thing? (I use --insecure because I get an SSL error otherwise)
Something about my command is not correct but I can't figure out what.
Can someone kindly help me out? I am trying everything I can without success
I am not sure if I understand your application specific right, but probably one thing you need to take into account:
man curl says:
-d, --data <data>
(HTTP) Sends the specified data in a POST request to the HTTP server, in the same way that a browser does when
a user has filled in an HTML form and presses the submit button. This will cause curl to pass the data to the
server using the content-type application/x-www-form-urlencoded. Compare to -F, --form.
-d, --data is the same as --data-ascii. --data-raw is almost the same but does not have a special interpreta‐
tion of the # character. To post data purely binary, you should instead use the --data-binary option. To URL-
encode the value of a form field you may use --data-urlencode.
As I can't see in your example the necessity of sending data as HTML form input, probably your application expects just a "raw" POST body and then you have to try this:
curl --insecure -X POST https://api.blabla.com/auth --data--binary '{"blabla_token": "sdsadsad", "blahblah_id": "23213", "locale": "us"}'
PS and for sure this is error is not about using --insecure which just asks curl to neglect ssl verification
you forgot the headers and enabling compressed encoding (gzip), however, i believe you can't force curl to only support gzip encoding using the curl command line alone, you will have to use libcurl, this will make the request say "Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate" on most systems, using --compressed .. if that's not acceptable to you, rewrite it using libcurl (where you can force it to say only "gzip", if you wish, via CURLOPT_ENCODING )
curl -X POST https://api.blabla.com/auth --data '{"blabla_token": "sdsadsad", "blahblah_id": "23213", "locale": "us"}' --header 'platform: android' --header 'X-Auth-Token: <censored>' --header 'Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8' --header 'Host: api.blabla.com' --compressed
another gotcha: on some systems, there will be a default useragent header (like debian 6), while on some systems, curl comes without a default useragent (like debian 8).. you might want to use --user-agent '' too

How to post JSON data using curl over basic http auth?

I want to post data using curl unix command what I got by googling is doing like below:
curl --dump-header - -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST --data '{"description": "This will prbbly be my lst post.", "transaction_id": "2011-05-22T00:46:38", "account": "another-post"}' http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/transaction/
But its is returning following response header like below:
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: POST; nodename nor servname provided, or not known
HTTP/1.0 401 UNAUTHORIZED
Date: Sat, 09 Jun 2012 18:50:37 GMT
Server: WSGIServer/0.1 Python/2.7.1
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
What I am doing wrong
You don't need to write "POST" to make curl(1) post - it will do that automatically if you give it a --data argument.
Instead, it is mistaking "POST" for the URL you want to send to, and failing as you might imagine. Drop that word and you should be good.
