i need to call a HTTP request in ubuntu how do i do it? I can't seem to find an answer around on how to to do it?
How do run the following url without calling a browser like lynx to do it?

You can use either curl or wget command to send HTTP requests from UNIX or Linux operating system. Both commands allow you to send GET and POST requests, which means you can also call REST web services.
Installing cURL for Ubuntu Linux Next, install cURL, execute: sudo apt install curl. Verify install of curl on Ubuntu by running: curl --version. Search for libcurl bindings for your programming needs: apt-cache search libcurl | grep python. Install the Python bindings to libcurl: sudo apt install python3-pycurl.
Using tcpdump You can also use tcpdump command to capture all raw packets, on all interfaces, on all ports, and write them to file. Now when you run your browser or any application that makes HTTP requests, all the information will be logged in /tmp/http. log file.
in your command prompt, run the following:
curl http://www.smsggglobal.com/http-api.php?action=sendsms&user=asda&password=123123&&from=123123&to=1232&text=adsdad
the curl command executes an http request for a given url and parameters.
if you need to specify another HTTP method, use curl -X <TYPE> <URL>, like this:
curl -X POST http://www.smsggglobal.com/http-api.php?action=sendsms&user=asda&password=123123&&from=123123&to=1232&text=adsdad

or
to save the results as a file
