how to use rest api with curl and c++ in xcode - c++

I'm trying to POST the simple data to the Parse server using REST, but not able to do so, here is the code
#include<curl/curl.h>
curl -X POST \
-H "X-Parse-Application-Id: xxxxxxxxxx" \
-H "X-Parse-REST-API-Key: xxxxxxxxxxxx" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"score":1337,"playerName":"Sean Plott","cheatMode":false}' \
https://api.parse.com/1/classes/GameScore
what is X here? do we need to define x? what connection settings need to be used to post the data successfully? and where is the return object is Json, where is is stored?
thanks.

You are trying to use a terminal command in C++, this won't work. X is a command line option for curl.
Below is a basic example of an HTTP POST request submitted with Curl using C. You should be able to adapt this to your needs.

WSO2 IOT server

I am using WSO2 IOT server with raspberrypi 3. I am in the beginning level. I was able to switch on/off the LED bulb which is connected to raspberrypi with this command.
curl -k -X POST "https://172.16.13.86:8243/raspberrypi/1.0.0/device/us310v497by0/bulb?state=on" -H "accept: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer 739e2223-62b6-3a24-890f-5b6e610ed6d2"
Now I want to get the current temperature which is detected by the dht11 sensor. I want to know a same type of command which I used for switch on/off the LED bulb. Can anyone help me please?
Please try:
curl -X GET --header 'Accept: application/json' 'https://ServerIP:9443/api/device-mgt/v1.0/events/last-known/deviceType/deviceId' -H "Authorization: Bearer token"

Access the API with HTTP request

I am using WSO2 IOT server, RaspberryPi 3 device with LED and DTH11 sensor. I can manage LED with console.
What I am trying to do is turn it On and Off with my mobile application. So, I want to know how can I send the HTTP request to the API and the request also. The server is running in localhost. Can anyone help me?
This is the command I used:
curl -k -X POST https://172.16.13.86:8243/api/device-mgt/v1.0/devices/raspberrypi/operations
-H 'accept: application/json' -H 'authorization: Bearer a7a156d7-0393-3350-8b9b-0ac956723440'
-H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{"deviceIdentifiers":[r1lovwmwg113],
"operation":{"code":"bulb","type":"CONFIG", "payLoad":"state:ON"}}'```
And this is the reply:
{"activityId":"ACTIVITY_36492","code":"bulb","type":"CONFIG","createdTimeStamp":"Fri
Dec 21 11:38:20 IST
2018","activityStatus":[{"deviceIdentifier":{"id":"r1lovwmwg113","type":"raspberrypi"},"status":"PENDING"}]}

How to test web service using command line curl

I am building a web service for a web application, and I would like a simple tool to test this as I am developing. I have tried some firefox plug-ins (Poster, 'REST Client'), and even though these work fine I have been unable to upload files with them.
Also, I would rather have a command-line tool that I can use to easily write a set of integration tests for this web service and that I can send to consumers of this web service as an example.
I know that curl can work for this but would like a few examples, especially around authentication (using HTTP Basic) and file uploads.
Answering my own question.
curl -X GET --basic --user username:password \
https://www.example.com/mobile/resource
curl -X DELETE --basic --user username:password \
https://www.example.com/mobile/resource
curl -X PUT --basic --user username:password -d 'param1_name=param1_value' \
-d 'param2_name=param2_value' https://www.example.com/mobile/resource
POSTing a file and additional parameter
curl -X POST -F 'param_name=#/filepath/filename' \
-F 'extra_param_name=extra_param_value' --basic --user username:password \
https://www.example.com/mobile/resource
In addition to existing answers it is often desired to format the REST output (typically JSON and XML lacks indentation). Try this:
$ curl https://api.twitter.com/1/help/configuration.xml | xmllint --format -
$ curl https://api.twitter.com/1/help/configuration.json | python -mjson.tool
Tested on Ubuntu 11.0.4/11.10.
Another issue is the desired content type. Twitter uses .xml/.json extension, but more idiomatic REST would require Accept header:
$ curl -H "Accept: application/json"
From the documentation on http://curl.haxx.se/docs/httpscripting.html :
HTTP Authentication
curl --user name:password http://www.example.com
Put a file to a HTTP server with curl:
curl --upload-file uploadfile http://www.example.com/receive.cgi
Send post data with curl:
curl --data "birthyear=1905&press=%20OK%20" http://www.example.com/when.cgi

Curl command line for consuming webServices?

Do you guys know how I can use the Curl command line to POST SOAP to test a web service?
I have a file (soap.xml) which has all the soap message attached to it I just don't seem to be able to properly post it.
Thanks!
Posting a string:
curl -d "String to post" "http://www.example.com/target"
Posting the contents of a file:
curl -d #soap.xml "http://www.example.com/target"
For a SOAP 1.2 Webservice, I normally use
curl --header "content-type: application/soap+xml" --data #filetopost.xml http://domain/path
Wrong.
That doesn't work for me.
For me this one works:
curl
-H 'SOAPACTION: "urn:samsung.com:service:MainTVAgent2:1#CheckPIN"'
-X POST
-H 'Content-type: text/xml'
-d #/tmp/pinrequest.xml
192.168.1.5:52235/MainTVServer2/control/MainTVAgent2
curl -H "Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8" \
-H "SOAPAction:" \
-d #soap.txt -X POST http://someurl
If you want a fluffier interface than the terminal, http://hurl.it/ is awesome.
