Categorized request examples and articles tagged with [curl-data] keyword How do I post request body with Curl?
To send data to the server in the POST request body, you must pass the required data to Curl using the -d or --data command line switch and specify the data content type using the -H command line switch. The Content-Type header is required for the server to correctly interpret and process the data in the body of the POST message. For example, if you send JSON to a server, you must specify the content type of the data in the body of the POST message using the Content-Type header: application/json and application/xml for XML. In this example, we send the request body to the ReqBin echo URL using Curl. Click Run to execute Curl POST Body example online and see results.
How do I use curl -d option?

To send data in a different format, you must specify the correct content type with the -H command line argument.
