Copy-Paste cURL Commands

The Copy-Paste cURL Command feature allows you to effortlessly create and send HTTP requests by using keyboard shortcuts to copy (Cmd + C on macOS or Ctrl + C on Windows) and paste (Cmd + V on macOS or Ctrl + V on Windows) cURL commands directly into the Workflow Editor. This streamlines workflow setup, making it faster, more intuitive, and more efficient.

If a valid cURL command is pasted in a Workflow step, it will be parsed into a Send HTTP action with the supported parameters.
The Send HTTP action created by copying and pasting the cURL command in a Workflow Step, will be added last to the list of actions that the Workflow steps may already have.

Supported Parameters

When a cURL command is pasted into the Workflow Editor, only supported parameters are processed. Unsupported parameters are ignored and skipped.
If any part of the cURL command is invalid, an error or a warning message will pop up in the bottom-right corner of the Workflow Editor and inform you of the issue.

Blink supports the following parameters:

Parameter	Aliases	Description
Request	`[-X, --request ] <command>`	Specifies the HTTP method (e.g., `GET`, `POST`, `PUT`, `DELETE`) to use.
Data	`[-d, --data ] <data>`	Sends the specified data in request to the HTTP server.
Header	`[-H, --header ] <header>`	Adds a custom header to the request.
Cookie	`[-b, --cookie ] <header>`	Sends the specified data as a cookie in the request.
Insecure	`['-k', '--insecure']`	Disables SSL certificate validation.
Basic Authentication	`['-u', '--user'] <user:password>`	Encodes credentials in Base64 and adds them to the request header.
User Agent	`['-A', '--user-agent']`	A string sent by your browser or app that tells servers and networks which application, operating system, version, and vendor you’re using to make the request.
GET flag	`['-G', '--get']`	Forces the request type to `GET`.
Head flag	`['-I', '--head']`	Forces the request type to `HEAD`.

The GET flag (-G or --get) forces the HTTP request type to GET, but it can be overridden by the -X or --request flag. The X flag explicitly sets the request method (e.g., POST, PUT, DELETE), and if both flags are used, -X takes precedence. Use these options carefully to ensure your intended HTTP request type is correctly configured.
