I'm trying to add policy objects using cURL on Windows. I keep getting error "Bad request: There was a problem in the JSON you submitted." I don't have regular access to a Linux machine but when I run this command there it's working. There are a few clients and a lot of entries I need to add and I need to do this work from a Windows computer. What am I doing wrong here?

From the Windows machine I use: curl -L -H "X-Cisco-Meraki-API-Key:[redacted]" -H "Content-Type:application/json" -X POST --data-binary "name":"Test Object","category":"network","type":"cidr","cidr":"ip4 address","groupIds":"[]" [redacted]/PolicyObjects -v
"curl -LOk" makes it using insecure protocols (-k), disabling SSL certificate checks (which fail because of the incorrect path not matching the certificate), and create the output file using the filename (-O) proposed from the remote server (also insecure).In my opinion, the server should better be configured create local redirecting aliases where needed, to avoid having to pass this non conforming part of the URL. But the redirection is made using an HTTP redirect only (HTTP error 30x), which causes problems to curl that does not follow (by default) this (unsecure) redirection, and option (-k) disables this security check.So instead of using HTTP redirects (moved permanently), please add some internal link on the filesystem of the server. If this is needed because the URL is in fact hosted on another physical server with no direct access between their filesystems, you should use another DNS name for this host, so that clients will query the correct one directly, without any redirect.Then fix your web pages (you may use your webserver logs to see where HTTP 30x redirects are returned and which webpages may need to be checked and updated).Forcing clients to use unsecure/unchecked protocols is not a good option.
You may already be familiar with another command line utility, wget, which has some similar functionality to curl. The focus of wget is centered on HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP. That means wget is perfectly capable of doing everything shown above.
cURL is a command-line tool that lets you transfer data to/from a server using various protocols. In this case, the curl command will establish a communication to POST or GET data to/from Ubidots' server over HTTP and HTTPS.
4. Next, open the .zip file and enter to the folder called "src". Inside the src folder you will find the curl executable file. At this point, you need to copy the executable file and paste it inside a local folder on your PC to be able to run the curl.
6. From the Command Prompt, enter to the location where the executable file was pasted. To enter to the folder you need to use the cd command following the location of the folder which contains the executable file as you can see below.
(Optional) The following command block downloads and installs the AWS CLI without first verifying the integrity of your download. To verify the integrity of your download, use the below step by step instructions.
To update your current installation of the AWS CLI, add your existing symlink and installer information to construct the install command using the --bin-dir, --install-dir, and --update parameters. The following command block uses an example symlink of /usr/local/bin and example installer location of /usr/local/aws-cli.
For a specific version of the AWS CLI, append a hyphen and the version number to the filename. For this example the filename for version 2.0.30 would be awscli-exe-linux-x86_64-2.0.30.zip.sig resulting in the following command:
For a specific version of the AWS CLI, append a hyphen and the version number to the filename. For this example the filename for version 2.0.30 would be awscli-exe-linux-aarch64-2.0.30.zip.sig resulting in the following command:
Unzip the installer. If your Linux distribution doesn't have a built-in unzip command, use an equivalent to unzip it. The following example command unzips the package and creates a directory named aws under the current directory.
When updating from a previous version, the unzip command prompts to overwrite existing files. To skip these prompts, such as with script automation, use the -u update flag for unzip. This flag automatically updates existing files and creates new ones as needed.
Run the install program. The installation command uses a file named install in the newly unzipped aws directory. By default, the files are all installed to /usr/local/aws-cli, and a symbolic link is created in /usr/local/bin. The command includes sudo to grant write permissions to those directories.
Due to standard user permissions, after the installer finishes, you must manually create a symlink file in your $PATH that points to the aws and aws_completer programs by using the following commands at the command prompt. If your $PATH includes a folder you can write to, you can run the following command without sudo if you specify that folder as the target's path. If you don't have a writable folder in your $PATH, you must use sudo in the commands to get permissions to write to the specified target folder. The default location for a symlink is /usr/local/bin/.
Run the standard macOS installer program, specifying the downloaded .pkg file as the source. Use the -pkg parameter to specify the name of the package to install, and the -target / parameter for which drive to install the package to. The files are installed to /usr/local/aws-cli, and a symlink is automatically created in /usr/local/bin. You must include sudo on the command to grant write permissions to those folders.
To specify which folder the AWS CLI is installed to, you must create an XML file with any file name. This file is an XML-formatted file that looks like the following example. Leave all values as shown, except you must replace the path /Users/myusername in line 9 with the path to the folder you want the AWS CLI installed to. The folder must already exist, or the command fails. The following XML example, named choices.xml, specifies the installer to install the AWS CLI in the folder /Users/myusername, where it creates a folder named aws-cli.
Download the pkg installer using the curl command. The -o option specifies the file name that the downloaded package is written to. In this example, the file is written to AWSCLIV2.pkg in the current folder.
Because standard user permissions typically don't allow writing to folders in your $PATH, the installer in this mode doesn't try to add the symlinks to the aws and aws_completer programs. For the AWS CLI to run correctly, you must manually create the symlinks after the installer finishes. If your $PATH includes a folder you can write to and you specify the folder as the target's path, you can run the following command without sudo. If you don't have a writable folder in your $PATH, you must use sudo for permissions to write to the specified target folder. The default location for a symlink is /usr/local/bin/. Replace folder/installed with the path to your AWS CLI installation.
If you come across issues after installing or uninstalling the AWS CLI, see Troubleshoot AWS CLI errors for troubleshooting steps. For the most relevant troubleshooting steps, see Command not found errors, The "aws --version" command returns a different version than you installed, and The "aws --version" command returns a version after uninstalling the AWS CLI.
To be able to run curl, it is necessary to go to the program directory and from there run the commands. If we want to avoid this, it is necessary to edit the environment variables. In addition, add a new variable to the PATH environment. If you want to know how to do it, please see here. In this case, I only show you that the path you have to add is C:\curl
As a web developer or tech enthusiast, understanding HTTP requests and how to interact with APIs is crucial, particularly when it comes to automating requests and debugging. In such scenarios, you might want to execute a quick HTML request from your terminal and this is where cURL, a free command-line tool for data transfer, comes in handy.
Client URL (cURL) lets you exchange data between your device and a server through a command-line interface (CLI). By simply specifying a server URL and the data to be sent, cURL enables diverse request forms, much like API tools like Postman and Insomnia, but directly from your terminal.
API tools like Postman and Insomnia provide an interactive user interface (UI) that allows you to make different forms of requests to URLs, for receiving and processing requests. The cURL command does the same thing, except in your terminal. cURL works on Linux, Mac, and Windows.
The cURL command uses the libcURL client-side URL transfer library. This library supports many different transfer protocols including HTTPS, SMTP, and FTP. It also enables you to include cookies, set proxies, and add authentication credentials when making requests.
Without passing any flags or options, the cURL command defaults to making a GET request to the specified URL. The command returns the response body sent from the API, which would look like this in your terminal:
Additionally, you can include options and values to use a different request method with the cURL command. For example, you can use the -X (hyphen and uppercase X) option with the request method. The -X option is an alias for --request.
