how to get output from curl request to a file even if status code is 400?

Tags:

bash

shell

curl

if I do a request via curl to a normal site I may direct the output to a file with header data and stuff like this:

Command:

curl -is www.google.de > temp.txt

Output:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

When I do the same request to an url, where the response will have an status code 400, I will get an error that will be prompted to the shell and the file will be empty:

curl -is https://foursquare.com/oauth2/access_token?grant_type=authorization_code&client_id=SOME_CLIENT_ID&client_secret=SOME_CLIENT_SECRET&code=notavalidcode&redirect_uri=SOME_REDIRECT_URI > temp.txt

Is there a way to prompt the result to a file also if I get an status code 400?

How do I get response from curl request?

By sending a Curl HEAD request along with the --http2 command line parameter, you can check if the target URL supports the HTTP/2 protocol. In the response, you will see the HTTP/2 200 status line if your server supports the HTTP/2 protocol or HTTP/1.1 200 otherwise.

How do I get HTTP status code from curl response?

Append a line "http_code:200" at the end, and then grep for the keyword "http_code:" and extract the response code. In this case, you can still use the non-silent mode / verbose mode to get more information about the request such as the curl response body. Save this answer.

wrap the url with "

kent$  curl -is "https://foursquare.com/oauth2/access_token?grant_type=authorization_code&client_id=SOME_CLIENT_ID&client_secret=SOME_CLIENT_SECRET&code=notavalidcode&redirect_uri=SOME_REDIRECT_URI" > temp.txt

kent$  cat temp.txt
