Convert cURL request to request of node.js

Question

Here is my valid cURL command:

curl 'https://www.example.com/api/' --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"getObjectsByFilter","id":"3"}'

here is what I tried in Node.js:

var url = 'https://www.example.com/api/';

var data = {
  "jsonrpc":"2.0",
  "id":"3"
};

req.post({ url: url, form: data}, function (err, result, body) {

But it is not valid.

Answer 1

You can use the following tool to convert and get the code:

https://curl.trillworks.com/#node

They support:

• Node.js
• Python
• PHP

Answer 2

You can also do it using postman if you have. (late answer but might help someone else) 1. import curl command into the postman

2. After import click on the code and you can see many options to generate the code for different languages.

Answer 3

You are going to need to install the npm module request

If you have npm installed already, just run the following command:

npm install request

Make sure you require the module at the top of your node file, like so

var request = require('request');

You can use the module with the following:

var request = require('request');

var url = 'https://www.example.com/api/';

var data = {
  "jsonrpc":"2.0",
  "id":"3"
};

request.post({url:url, formData: data}, function(err, httpResponse, body) {
  if (err) {
    return console.error('post failed:', err);
  }

  console.log('Post successful!  Server responded with:', body);
});
