I'm attempting to attach a file to a comment in a message with the Basecamp API. According to the documentation, I first upload the file as so:
curl -H 'Accept: application/xml' -H 'Content-Type: application/octet-stream' -u 123456789:X -X POST -d #/my/path/test.txt https://myurl.com/upload
This returns an id, so I know the file was uploaded. I then try to attach this file to a comment in a message:
curl -H 'Accept: application/xml' -H 'Content-Type: application/xml' -u 123456789:X -X POST -d '<comment><body>This is a test</body><attachments><name>blah</name><file><file>$id</file><content-type>application/text</content-type><original-filename>test.txt</original-filename></file></attachments></comment>' https://myurl/posts/987654321/comments.xml
The comment is uploaded however the attachment is not. Does anyone know why the attachment would not be uploaded?
Thanks
I'm not sure if it's your only problem, but the value of $id isn't interpolated when you use single quotes, and so you're passing the string '$id' instead of the value of $id.
Either use '...<file>'$id'</file>...' or "...<file>$id</file>..."

Can any one help to construct it so that i can use it window curl
You need to put a Content-Type :
curl -d '{json}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' https://example.com
I'm trying to create a simple cURL request to grab some JSON data and dump it into a file. Tried using command-line and PowerShell but can't
figure out how to use a date array as required in the documentation (https://api.officevibe.com/docs/engagement)
The support at OfficeVibe is ridiculous, unless you know exactly what you're doing they're not very willing to help and any examples provided don't actually work (as i'm assuming they need to be part of a larger app).
Can anyone offer some advice on how i can get this working? (The Bearer ID isn't our actual ID)
Example from OfficeVibe which doesn't work in command-line or PowerShell:
c:\temp\curl.exe -k -X POST https://app.officevibe.com/api/v2/engagement -H 'Authorization: Bearer 1234' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"dates" : ["2019-04-01"]}' -o c:\temp\engagement.json
Many thanks
The answer was as easy - all i needed to do was add a backslash before the double-quote:
c:\temp\curl.exe -k -X POST https://app.officevibe.com/api/v2/engagement -H 'Authorization: Bearer 1234' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{\"dates\" : [\"2019-04-01\"]}'
I have some troubles with the Watson TTS example provided by IBM using cURL :
curl -X POST -u {USERNAME}:{PASSWORD} \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--header "Accept: audio/wav" \
--data '{"text":"hello world"}' \
--output hello_world.wav \
"https://stream.watsonplatform.net/text-to-speech/api/v1/synthesize"
I am running this cURL command through GitBASH but the audio file output I'm getting is blank and does not contain any audio.
I've tried changing :
--data '{"text":"hello world"}' \
to :
--data "{\"text\":\"hello world\"}" \
But I get the same result.
Remove the {} around your username and password credentials, which by the way are now compromise.
You will should revoke these credentials and create a fresh set of credentials, which you should try endevour to keep secret and not post in public forums.
I am trying to use the yelp fusion api but cannot seem to find out how to format the url. I have read the get started page but do not understand it. I just need to know where to put what. This is what I have so far:
https://api.yelp.com/oauth2/token?grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=ID&client_secret="CLIENT SECRET"
When I load this url it says "VALIDATION_ERROR." What am I doing wrong?
The grant_type,client_id and client_secret should be sent in application/x-www-form-urlencoded format in the POST call.
curl -X POST \
https://api.yelp.com/oauth2/token \
-H 'cache-control: no-cache' \
-H 'content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
-d 'grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=CLIENT_ID&client_secret=CLIENT_SECRET'
i'm trying to connect ti a web api service, box-api, and following the tutorial i have to type this command to fetch a folder in the user content:
curl https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/FOLDER_ID/items?limit=2&offset=0 -H "Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN"
I tryied to connect from the command line to test the command but it keep complaining about the -H or the --header command saying that it doesn exist:
-bash: -H: command not found
-bash: --header: command not found
but when i type curl --help the command is in the manual:
-H, --header LINE Custom header to pass to server (H)
I'm confused, what should i do to connect to this site and get the JSON content? Thanks
Your url has & sign. and this is making end of command on there(and running at background). You can remove this error by using quotes around. Like this
curl "https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/FOLDER_ID/items?limit=2&offset=0" -H "Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN"
Hope this helps.
There seem to be two problems:
The '&' in the middle of the URL passed to curl,
The order of the statements. The curl manual reports a different order for the statements. Example:
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer AUTH_KEY" "https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/0/items?limit=2&offset=0"
This should be the complete solution.
