usage: http [--json] [--form] [--pretty {all,colors,format,none}] [--style STYLE] [--print WHAT] [--verbose] [--headers] [--body] [--stream] [--output FILE] [--download] [--continue] [--session SESSION_NAME_OR_PATH | --session-read-only SESSION_NAME_OR_PATH] [--auth USER[:PASS]] [--auth-type {basic,digest}] [--proxy PROTOCOL:PROXY_URL] [--follow] [--verify VERIFY] [--cert CERT] [--cert-key CERT_KEY] [--timeout SECONDS] [--check-status] [--ignore-stdin] [--help] [--version] [--traceback] [--debug] [METHOD] URL [REQUEST_ITEM [REQUEST_ITEM ...]] HTTPie - a CLI, cURL-like tool for humans. <http://httpie.org> Positional Arguments: These arguments come after any flags and in the order they are listed here. Only URL is required. METHOD The HTTP method to be used for the request (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, ...). This argument can be omitted in which case HTTPie will use POST if there is some data to be sent, otherwise GET: $ http example.org # => GET $ http example.org hello=world # => POST URL The scheme defaults to 'http://' if the URL does not include one. You can also use a shorthand for localhost $ http :3000 # => http://localhost:3000 $ http :/foo # => http://localhost/foo REQUEST_ITEM Optional key-value pairs to be included in the request. The separator used determines the type: ':' HTTP headers: Referer:http://httpie.org Cookie:foo=bar User-Agent:bacon/1.0 '==' URL parameters to be appended to the request URI: search==httpie '=' Data fields to be serialized into a JSON object (with --json, -j) or form data (with --form, -f): name=HTTPie language=Python description='CLI HTTP client' ':=' Non-string JSON data fields (only with --json, -j): awesome:=true amount:=42 colors:='["red", "green", "blue"]' '@' Form file fields (only with --form, -f): cs@~/Documents/CV.pdf '=@' A data field like '=', but takes a file path and embeds its content: essay=@Documents/essay.txt ':=@' A raw JSON field like ':=', but takes a file path and embeds its content: package:=@./package.json You can use a backslash to escape a colliding separator in the field name: field-name-with\:colon=value Predefined Content Types: --json, -j (default) Data items from the command line are serialized as a JSON object. The Content-Type and Accept headers are set to application/json (if not specified). --form, -f Data items from the command line are serialized as form fields. The Content-Type is set to application/x-www-form-urlencoded (if not specified). The presence of any file fields results in a multipart/form-data request. Output Processing: --pretty {all,colors,format,none} Controls output processing. The value can be "none" to not prettify the output (default for redirected output), "all" to apply both colors and formatting (default for terminal output), "colors", or "format". --style STYLE, -s STYLE Output coloring style (default is "monokai"). One of: algol, algol_nu, autumn, borland, bw, colorful, default, emacs, friendly, fruity, igor, lovelace, manni, monokai, murphy, native, paraiso-dark, paraiso-light, pastie, perldoc, rrt, solarized, tango, trac, vim, vs, xcode For this option to work properly, please make sure that the $TERM environment variable is set to "xterm-256color" or similar (e.g., via `export TERM=xterm-256color' in your ~/.bashrc). Output Options: --print WHAT, -p WHAT String specifying what the output should contain: 'H' request headers 'B' request body 'h' response headers 'b' response body The default behaviour is 'hb' (i.e., the response headers and body is printed), if standard output is not redirected. If the output is piped to another program or to a file, then only the response body is printed by default. --verbose, -v Print the whole request as well as the response. Shortcut for --print=HBbh. --headers, -h Print only the response headers. Shortcut for --print=h. --body, -b Print only the response body. Shortcut for --print=b. --stream, -S Always stream the output by line, i.e., behave like `tail -f'. Without --stream and with --pretty (either set or implied), HTTPie fetches the whole response before it outputs the processed data. Set this option when you want to continuously display a prettified long-lived response, such as one from the Twitter streaming API. It is useful also without --pretty: It ensures that the output is flushed more often and in smaller chunks. --output FILE, -o FILE Save output to FILE. If --download is set, then only the response body is saved to the file. Other parts of the HTTP exchange are printed to stderr. --download, -d Do not print the response body to stdout. Rather, download it and store it in a file. The filename is guessed unless specified with --output [filename]. This action is similar to the default behaviour of wget. --continue, -c Resume an interrupted download. Note that the --output option needs to be specified as well. Sessions: --session SESSION_NAME_OR_PATH Create, or reuse and update a session. Within a session, custom headers, auth credential, as well as any cookies sent by the server persist between requests. Session files are stored in: /home/samuel/.httpie/sessions/<HOST>/<SESSION_NAME>.json. --session-read-only SESSION_NAME_OR_PATH Create or read a session without updating it form the request/response exchange. Authentication: --auth USER[:PASS], -a USER[:PASS] If only the username is provided (-a username), HTTPie will prompt for the password. --auth-type {basic,digest} The authentication mechanism to be used. Defaults to "basic". "basic": Basic HTTP auth "digest": Digest HTTP auth Network: --proxy PROTOCOL:PROXY_URL String mapping protocol to the URL of the proxy (e.g. http:http://foo.bar:3128). You can specify multiple proxies with different protocols. --follow Set this flag if full redirects are allowed (e.g. re-POST-ing of data at new Location). --verify VERIFY Set to "no" to skip checking the host's SSL certificate. You can also pass the path to a CA_BUNDLE file for private certs. You can also set the REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE environment variable. Defaults to "yes". --cert CERT You can specify a local cert to use as client side SSL certificate. This file may either contain both private key and certificate or you may specify --cert-key separately. --cert-key CERT_KEY The private key to use with SSL. Only needed if --cert is given and the certificate file does not contain the private key. --timeout SECONDS The connection timeout of the request in seconds. The default value is 30 seconds. --check-status By default, HTTPie exits with 0 when no network or other fatal errors occur. This flag instructs HTTPie to also check the HTTP status code and exit with an error if the status indicates one. When the server replies with a 4xx (Client Error) or 5xx (Server Error) status code, HTTPie exits with 4 or 5 respectively. If the response is a 3xx (Redirect) and --follow hasn't been set, then the exit status is 3. Also an error message is written to stderr if stdout is redirected. Troubleshooting: --ignore-stdin Do not attempt to read stdin. --help Show this help message and exit. --version Show version and exit. --traceback Prints exception traceback should one occur. --debug Prints exception traceback should one occur, and also other information that is useful for debugging HTTPie itself and for reporting bugs. For every --OPTION there is also a --no-OPTION that reverts OPTION to its default value. Suggestions and bug reports are greatly appreciated: https://github.com/jkbrzt/httpie/issues
