how to get curl -X POST command to output the http status 200 or else?

  • 772

I run several times this command 

curl -X POST \
        -H "X-Primotexto-ApiKey: 784155ceed9d0a4d1ffdb67466" \
        -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
        -d "$fragment" \
        https://api.primotexto.com/v2/notification/messages/send

Is that possible to ask curl to return the HTTP 200 (OK) ?

Thanks

bash curl

  1. This command

    curl --head \
     --output /dev/null \
     --write-out "%{http_code}\n" \
     --silent \
     -X POST https://api.primotexto.com/v2/notification/messages/send

    will fetch the header only, redirect the output to /dev/null, silence any progress bars, and eventually print the http_code (200).

    If you instead want to print the content of the website alongside the HTTP returncode, then a simple --write-out "%{http_code}\n" will do:

    curl --write-out "%{http_code}\n" \
     -H "…" \
     -H "…" \
     -d "…" \
     -X POST https://api.primotexto.com/v2/notification/messages/send

    Output:

    <!DOCTYPE …>
…
<html>…</html>
200
