Hello Stodge, It seems a bit convoluted on the command line but in reallity not much more convoluted if you consider all that a browser does for us in this regard. :-)
I've used a similar technique to the one you describe on my Crowdsourcing Nutrition Facts website. Here is an extract from the documentation<%20http://www.crowdsourcingnutritionfacts.info/about/#rest-api-authentication> ... Get the login webpage and parse the csrf token into the data shell variable. $ data=$(curl -s -c cookies.txt http://www.crowdsourcingnutritionfacts.info/accounts/login/ | grep -o "name=['\"]csrfmiddlewaretoken['\"] value=['\"][^'\"]*" | sed -e "s/name='//" -e "s/' value='/=/")\&username=*user name*\&password=*password* Log in to the website. $ curl -b cookies.txt -c cookies.txt -d $data -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' http://www.crowdsourcingnutritionfacts.info/accounts/login/ Get brands containing the search term "ea". $ curl -b cookies.txt http://www.crowdsourcingnutritionfacts.info/api/auto-complete/brand/?term=ea This is not a best practices or anything just a sample to show programmers the mechanics of interacting with the website with whatever tools they choose to use. I attempted to use tools that I thought would be available/familiar to a wide variety of systems/programmers.
