cURL code sample: download a custom IOC file

The following code sample can be copied and executed from any command-line interface that includes the cURL library. This sample builds on the authentication cURL code sample.

Note

In this sample, line breaks are added for readability. Remove these line breaks before you paste the code sample into your command-line tool.

curl -qgsSk --no-progress-bar --header "X-FeApi-Token: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" --header "Content-Type:application/octet-stream" "https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:443/wsapis/v2.0.0/customioc/feed/download/testFeed" -o /cygdrive/c/cygwin/feed.txt

This cURL sample includes the following options:

  • -q—This option specifies that the curlrc config file is not read or used. Although this is an optional setting, Trellix recommends that you include this option.

  • -g—This option turns off the URL globbing parser. Although this is an optional setting, Trellix recommends that you include this option.

  • -s—This option turns off the progress meter and error message. Although this is an optional setting, Trellix recommends that you include this option.

  • -S—When used with the -s option, this option shows error messages if your cURL switch fails. Although this is an optional setting, Trellix recommends that you include this option.

  • -k—This option explicitly allows cURL to perform insecure SSL connections and transfers. This allows you to test your SSL connection without installing a CA certificate.

  • --no-progress-bar—This option suppresses the cURL download progress bar, which can interfere with the request.

  • --header "X-FeApi-Token: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"—This custom header includes the API-Token that was returned by your appliance during the authentication request. In the authentication cURL code sample, this token was included in the auth.txt file. Replace the token in the sample with the token received in the response to your authentication request.

  • -H "Content-Type: application/octet-stream"—This header specifies that the request is in a binary file.

  • "https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:443/wsapis/v2.0.0/customioc/feed/download/testFeed"—The custom IOCs request URL. Replace the IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with the IP address of your appliance. Replace testFeed with the name of the feed of interest.

  • -o /cygdrive/c/cygwin/feed.txt—The file that will contain the feed and the file path.
