How to test a REST api from command line with curl
If you want to quickly test your REST api from the command line, you can use curl. In this post I will present how to execute GET, POST, PUT, HEAD, DELETE HTTP Requests against a REST API. For the purpose of this blog post I will be using the REST api developed in my post Tutorial – REST API design and implementation in Java with Jersey and Spring
Contents
1. Introduction
If in the first part of the blog post I will do a brief introduction to curl and what it can do (HTTP requests with options), in the second part I will “translate” the SOAPui test suite developed for the REST API tutorial to curl requests.
1.1. What is curl?
Curl is a command line tool and library for transferring data with URL syntax, supporting DICT, FILE, FTP, FTPS, Gopher, HTTP, HTTPS, IMAP, IMAPS, LDAP, LDAPS, POP3, POP3S, RTMP, RTSP, SCP, SFTP, SMTP, SMTPS, Telnet and TFTP. curl supports SSL certificates, HTTP POST, HTTP PUT, FTP uploading, HTTP form based upload, proxies, HTTP/2, cookies, user+password authentication (Basic, Digest, NTLM, Negotiate, Kerberos…), file transfer resume, proxy tunneling and more.[1]
As mentioned, I will be using curl to simulate HEAD, GET, POST, PUT and DELETE request calls to the REST API.
1.2. HEAD requests
If you want to check if a resource is serviceable, what kind of headers it provides and other useful meta-information written in response headers, without having to transport the entire content, you can make a HEAD request. Let’s say I want to see what I would GET when requesting a Podcast resource. I would issue the following HEAD request with curl:
Request
curl -I http://localhost:8888/demo-rest-jersey-spring/podcasts/1
OR
curl -i -X HEAD http://localhost:8888/demo-rest-jersey-spring/podcasts/1
Curl options
-i, --include– include protocol headers in the output (H/F)-X, --request– specify request COMMAND (GET, PUT, DELETE…) to use

Note the following headers
Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Content-TypeAccess-Control-Allow-Methods: GET, POST, DELETE, PUTandAccess-Control-Allow-Origin: *
in the response.
They’ve been added to support Cross-Origing Resource Sharing (CORS). You can find more about that in my post How to add CORS support on the server side in Java with Jersey.
What I find a little bit intriguing is the response header
Content-Type: application/xml, because I would have expected it to be application/json, since in the resource method defined with Jersey this should have taken precedence:@GET
@Path("{id}")
@Produces({ MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON, MediaType.APPLICATION_XML })
public Response getPodcastById(@PathParam("id") Long id, @QueryParam("detailed") boolean detailed)
throws IOException, AppException {
Podcast podcastById = podcastService.getPodcastById(id);
return Response.status(200)
.entity(podcastById, detailed ? new Annotation[]{PodcastDetailedView.Factory.get()} : new Annotation[0])
.header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "X-extra-header")
.allow("OPTIONS").build();
}
1.3. GET request
Executing curl with no parameters on a URL (resource) will execute a GET.
Request
curl http://localhost:8888/demo-rest-jersey-spring/podcasts/1
Response

</podcast>
Note that as expected from the HEAD request we get an xml document. Anyway we can force a JSON response by adding a header line to our curl request, setting the
Accept HTTP header to application/json:curl --header "Accept:application/json" http://localhost:8888/demo-rest-jersey-spring/podcasts/1
Curl options
-H, --header– customer header to pass to the server
curl -H "Accept:application/json" http://localhost:8888/demo-rest-jersey-spring/podcasts/1

If you want to have it displayed prettier, you can use the following command, provided you have Python installed on your machine.
Request
curl -H "Accept:application/json" http://localhost:8888/demo-rest-jersey-spring/podcasts/1 | python -m json.tool

1.4. Curl request with multiple headers
As you’ve found out in my latest post, How to compress responses in Java REST API with GZip and Jersey, all the responses provided by the REST api are being compressed with GZip. This happens only if the client “suggests” that it accepts such encoding, by setting the following header
Accept-encoding:gzip.
Request
curl -v -H "Accept:application/json" -H "Accept-encoding:gzip" http://localhost:8888/demo-rest-jersey-spring/podcasts/
Curl options
-v, --verbose– make the operation more talkative
To achieve that you need to simply add another -H option with the corresponding value. Of course in this case you would get some unreadable characters in the content, if you do not redirect the response to a file:
* Adding handle: conn: 0x28ddd80
* Adding handle: send: 0
* Adding handle: recv: 0
* Curl_addHandleToPipeline: length: 1
* - Conn 0 (0x28ddd80) send_pipe: 1, recv_pipe: 0
