Fetch web content using curl.

Fetch page content

  • HTML: curl -sL "<url>"
  • Plain text (strip tags): curl -sL "<url>" | sed 's/<[^>]*>//g' | head -100
  • Headers only: curl -sI "<url>"
  • Follow redirects: curl -sL "<url>" (the -L flag follows redirects)
  • JSON API: curl -s "<url>" | jq .

Download files

  • Save with original name: curl -sLO "<url>"
  • Save with custom name: curl -sL -o <filename> "<url>"

POST requests

  • JSON: curl -s -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"key":"value"}' "<url>"
  • Form data: curl -s -X POST -d "key=value" "<url>"

Tips

  • Always use -s (silent) to suppress progress bars
  • Use -L to follow redirects
  • Pipe through head -100 for large pages to avoid flooding output
  • Use jq for JSON responses when available
