How to use the cURL command to do a POST data to fields on Linux or Unix

by

Here’s how you can use the cURL command to make a POST request and send data to fields on Linux or Unix:

  1. Open a terminal and navigate to the directory where you want to make the cURL request.
  2. Use the following template to make a cURL POST request and send data to fields:
curl -X POST -d "field1=value1&field2=value2&field3=value3" <URL>
  1. Replace field1, field2, and field3 with the names of the fields you want to send data to.
  2. Replace value1, value2, and value3 with the values you want to send for each field.
  3. Replace <URL> with the URL of the endpoint you want to send the data to.

The cURL command will make a POST request to the specified URL and send the specified data in the request body. You can use the -v option to display verbose output and see the details of the response from the server.
