How to capture cURL output to a file?

I have a text document that contains a bunch of URLs in this format:

URL = "sitehere.com"

What I'm looking to do is to run `curl -K myfile.txt`, and get the output of the response cURL returns, into a file.

How can I do this?

For a single file you can use `-O` instead of `-o filename` to use the last segment of the URL path as the filename. Example:

curl

-O

will save the results to a new file named **big-file.iso** in the current folder. In this way it works similar to [wget][1] but allows you to specify other [curl options][2] that are not available when using wget.

There are several options to make curl output to a file

# saves it to myfile.txt
curl

-o myfile.txt

# The #1 will get substituted with the url, so the filename contains the url
curl

-o "file_#1.txt"

# saves to data.txt, the filename extracted from the URL

-O

# saves to filename determined by the Content-Disposition header sent by the server.

-O -J

curl -K myconfig.txt -o output.txt

Writes the *first* output received in the file you specify (overwrites if an old one exists).

curl -K myconfig.txt >> output.txt
Appends all output you receive to the specified file.

**Note: The -K is optional.**

Use `--trace-ascii output.txt` to output the curl details to the file `output.txt`.

A tad bit late, but I think the OP was looking for something like:
```
curl -K myfile.txt --trace-ascii output.txt
```

You need to add quotation marks between "URL" -o "file_output" otherwise, curl doesn't recognize the URL or the text file name.

**Format**

curl "url" -o filename

**Example**

curl "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotation_mark" -o output_file.txt

**Example_2**

curl "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotation_mark" > output_file.txt

**Just make sure to add quotation marks.**

Writes the first output received in the file you specify (overwrites if an old one exists).

curl -K myconfig.txt >> output.txt

For those of you want to copy the cURL output in the clipboard instead of outputting to a file, you can use `pbcopy` by using the pipe `|` after the cURL command.

Example: `curl https://www.google.com/robots.txt | pbcopy`. This will copy all the content from the given URL to your clipboard.

Linux version: `curl https://www.google.com/robots.txt | xclip`

Windows version: `curl https://www.google.com/robots.txt | clip`

If you want to store your output into your desktop, follow the below command using post command in git bash.It worked for me.

```
curl

--request POST
--header "Content-Type: application/json"
-o "C:\Desktop\test.json"
```
