I'm just starting with cURL, I'm using Watson Natural Language Understanding (NLU) Service.. the following line gives me error code:400 "Invalid Request, content is Empty"

Note: I'm a Windows User

Your help is greatly appreciated!

All I'm trying to do is this simple Getting Started Example

curl -X POST -u "apikey:{MY_API_KEY}" ^
"https://gateway.watsonplatform.net/natural-language-understanding/api/v1/analyze?version=2018-11-16" ^

Hey @mohsen the body is missing in the above Post request, A sample request would look something like this for Keywords on a text, Also replace API-KEY in the below curl request. It is not ideal to post API Keys in public sites

curl -X POST \
 'https://gateway.watsonplatform.net/natural-language-understanding/api/v1/analyze?version=2017-01-11' \
-u "apikey:<API-KEY>"\
 -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
 -H 'cache-control: no-cache' \
 -d '{
   "text":"Iran Warns Of Retaliation If U.S. Breaches Nuclear Deal. Iran Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei is warning that Tehran will retaliate if the sanctions are approved.",
   "features": {
       "keywords":{
           "sentiment":true

       }
   },
   "language":"en"

}'

  • Thank you very much .. I just have to replace every \ with the caret sign ^ to work on my windows cmd, which is very annoying.. do you think Python would be better ? – Mohsen Mahmoud Jun 20 '19 at 18:27
  • There are SDKs available for all the watson services here https://github.com/watson-developer-cloud which you can leverage to make things simpler Here is the link to watson nlu https://github.com/watson-developer-cloud/python-sdk/blob/master/ibm_watson/natural_language_understanding_v1.py – Shranith linga Jun 20 '19 at 19:06
