Pass user credentials with curl command in powershell,
To pass user credentials with a curl command in PowerShell, you can use the -u
or --user
option to provide the username and password. Here's an example:
powershell$curlCommand = "curl -u username:password https://example.com/api/endpoint"
Invoke-Expression $curlCommand
Replace username
and password
with the actual credentials you want to use. The -u
option is followed by the username and password separated by a colon (username:password
). The URL (https://example.com/api/endpoint
in the example) should be replaced with the specific URL you want to access.
The Invoke-Expression
cmdlet is used to execute the curl command within PowerShell.
Note: Passing credentials as part of the command may expose them in your command history or logs. It is generally recommended to avoid hardcoding credentials in scripts and instead consider using more secure methods such as storing credentials in environment variables, using secure credential storage mechanisms, or prompting the user for credentials when running the script.
