cURL Access
The examples within this document use cURL to demonstrate how to access the Oracle Integration REST API.
To use cURL to access the Oracle Integration REST API:
-
Install cURL, as described in Quick Start.
-
In a command window, set the cURL environment variable,
CURL_CA_BUNDLE
, to the location of your local CA certificate bundle. For information about CA certificate verification using cURL, see: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html. -
Invoke cURL and specify one or more of the command-line options defined in the following table, as required, to direct its execution.
cURL Option Description -d, --data '{"name":"value"}'
-d, --data @file.json
Identifies the request document, in JSON format, on the local machine. -F, --form @file.json
Identifies form data, in JSON format, on the local machine. -H, --header
Defines the content type of the request data. -i
