cURL Access

The cURL command-line tool can be used to make REST API calls. The following login example shows the input and output of the user.xml file:

curl -v -c sessionid.txt -X POST [e-mail] -H"Content-Type: application/
xml" -H"Accept: application/xml" http://localhost:8080/rest/v1.0/admin/login

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<session>
<userName>admin</userName>
<password>admin</password>
</session>
