Curl command no return

Question

Im working with an api, in the documentaion found here: http://api.simplicate.nl/ There is an example curl:

`curl -H “Authentication-Key: {API Key}” -H “Authentication-Secret:{API secret}” https://{subdomain}.simplicate.nl/api/v2/crm/organization.json`

I ran that code like this in terminal:

curl -H “Authentication-Key:XX” -H “Authentication-Secret:XX” https://mydomain.simplicate.nl/api/v2/crm/organization.json

It runs but returns nothing.

Add -v argument to the curl command and check for any errors. — Armin Sam

@ArminSam so i just ran it, it returns a bunch of stuff. for example the first 3 lines * IDN support not present, can't parse Unicode domains * Could not resolve host: “Authentication-Key; nodename nor servname provided, or not known * Closing connection #0 curl: (6) Could not resolve host: “Authentication-Key; nodename nor servname provided, or not known — Kevin.a

Maybe you can add the output here (after removing your key and secret information). — Armin Sam

You are using Header inside “...” that is wrong. You have to use double quote "..." (not sure what it is called, standard double quote?).

So it should be:

curl -H "Authentication-Key:XX" -H "Authentication-Secret:XX" https://mydomain.simplicate.nl/api/v2/crm/organization.json

As a note, currently your curl is sending the headers as following with extra characters.

“Authentication-Key:XX”
“Authentication-Secret:XX”

But it should be:

Authentication-Key:XX
Authentication-Secret:XX
