How to execute curl command using snaps

#1

Hi,

Is there any Snaps available to execute the ‘cURL’ commands in Snaplogic? if Yes, Can you please let us know the process.

Thanks in Advance.

Have you taken a look at the Rest Snap Pack?

#3

I am also facing the same issue . Is there any way out to call the curl command from the REST snaps ? I checked the documentation but could not find anything regarding that .

If you want to execute CURL command, you can use Script snap. You have choice to choose between JavaScript/Python/Ruby. Using Python, you can invoke CURL command via SubProcess module. https://docs.python.org/3/library/subprocess.html

Can you provide an example of the type of curl command(s) you wish to run?

This type of sample curl comand : "curl -v http://localhost:8093/query/service
-d ‘statement=SELECT text FROM tweets WHERE rating = $1 AND when > $2&args=[ 9.5, “1-1-2014”]’ "

First of all, I hope your service http://localhost:8093/query/service is located within the plex/node where you are executing the pipeline. If not, then its an incorrect use-case. If yes, then there are two ways to do it.

(a) Use REST POST snap. The entire body can be given in Entity property.
(b) Use Script snap with python/javascript and invoke the post call using the respective library.

But, first option is the best and the easiest.

I have used Rest post snap and it is working for me
