Using cURL on Linux

July 30, 2021

Here are some uses of the CURL command

Curl is a program that allows us to scan data from or to a server without the interaction of each user.

Install curl package via terminal:

# Update your linux 
$ sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

# Next, install cURL 
$ sudo apt install curl

# Verify install of curl
$ curl --version

Here's a snippet of using the curl command:

# display server header information
$ curl -I http://example.com

# retrieving data in json format
$ curl -i -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET https://api.minergate.com/

# post data by file
$ curl -X POST -d data.json https://api.minergate.com/1.0/auth/login
