How to use curl to get a GET request exactly same as using Chrome?

Question

I have a web api http://something.com/api and I want to use GET to get the response body.

This is my command:

curl \"http://something.co         


        

Answer 1

Check the HTTP headers that chrome is sending with the request (Using browser extension or proxy) then try sending the same headers with CURL - Possibly one at a time till you figure out which header(s) makes the request work.

curl -A [user-agent] -H [headers] "http://something.com/api"
