CURL Requests in Windows

In API Documentation, sample CURL requests are common and helpful for the developers. Mac and Linux terminals are capable of executing such CURL requests but the Windows command prompt doesn't support it out of the box.

For windows users, you can follow below steps to execute the CURL requests easily by using Postman.

Steps

1. Copy the CURL Request. e.g.

Copy
curl https://stock.adobe.io/Rest/Media/1/Search/Files?locale=en_US%26search_parameters%5Bwords%5D=kittens 
  -H 'x-api-key:myAPIKey' 
  -H 'x-product:myTestApp1.0'
Copied to your clipboard
curl https://stock.adobe.io/Rest/Media/1/Search/Files?locale=en_US%26search_parameters%5Bwords%5D=kittens 
  -H 'x-api-key:myAPIKey' 
  -H 'x-product:myTestApp1.0'

2. Open Postman. Click Import -> Paste Raw Text -> Paste the CURL request.

   

3. Go to Headers tab and replace myAPIKey with your actual API Key from Adobe Developer Console integration for Adobe Stock.

   

4. Click Send. You will receive a response.

   

   Note: You can import any CURL Request into Postman by following the above steps.
