Sending JSON Data to Solr using cUrl

Question

How do I can send JSON object to solr collection usinc cUrl

I'm using Windows 10.

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type:application/json" "http://localhost:8983/solr/solr_sample/update/json/docs" --data-binary "{'id': '1','title':'Doc 1'}"

When I'm using this format I'm getting some kind of warning message:

curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type:application/json' 'http://localhost:8983/solr/sorl_sample/update/json/docs' --data-binary '{"id": "1","title":"Doc 1"}'
curl: (1) Protocol "'http" not supported or disabled in libcurl
curl: (3) [globbing] unmatched close brace/bracket in column 14

I resolved it using " " insted of ' '

When I send the request using the first url I'm getting this response:

{
  "responseHeader":{
    "status":0,
    "QTime":112}}

But when I try to get some result by searching I can't see any object in docs[]

curl -X GET "http://localhost:8983/solr/solr_sample/select?q=*:*"

Result:

{
      "responseHeader":{
        "status":0,
        "QTime":0,
        "params":{
          "q":"*:*"}},
      "response":{"numFound":0,"start":0,"docs":[]
      }}

When I'm using Solr UI I can add JSON objects without any problems, also to see the result in terminal

You have to commit the update. Add commit=true to the request. — Holger Thurow

Do you mean like this? curl -X POST -H "Content-Type:application/json" "http://localhost:8983/solr/solr_sample/update?commit=true" --data- binary "{'id':'1'}" I'm getting this error: <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8"/> <title>Error 404 Not Found</title> </head> <body><h2>HTTP ERROR 404</h2> <p>Problem accessing /solr/solr_sample/update. Reason: <pre> Not Found</pre></p> </body> </html> — Denis L.

You have to commit the update. Add commit=true to the URL path or "commitWithin":1000 to the JSON request, e. g.

curl -X POST \
    -d '{"add":{"doc":{"id":"delete.me","title":"change.me"},"commitWithin":1000}}' \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    http://localhost:8983/solr/solr_sample/update

Or using the URL:

curl -X POST \
    -d '{"add":{ "doc":{"id":"delete.me","title":"change.me"}}}' \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    http://localhost:8983/solr/solr_sample/update?commit=true

Try replacing the single quotes with double quotes, e. g. "{\"add\":{...}}" or "{'add':{...}}". Maybe curl does behave different on Windows than on UNIX and OS X, the platforms I am working on.

I just tested on Ubuntu 16 and works good. Thank you man, you are amazing!
