Posting file via cURL

[xenoxaos]

Has anyone had any success with uploading a file using cURL? I figure I would have to login and get the cookie, then use that to post the file in another cURL request.

EDIT:
After a bit of trial and error, I was able to successfully get this accomplished. And with the new site design, the URL has changed

curl --cookie "auth=COOKIE_DATA_FROM_YOUR_BROWSER" --form stumblefile=@FILENAME --form Send=Send --form observer=YOUR_USERNAME https://wigle.net/upload

As long as the cookie isn't set to expire, you should be able to add this to any bash script or whatever to automatically upload your files.

Just managed to do it like this:

Code: Select all

curl -F observer=MYUSERNAME -F password=MYPASSWORD -F stumblefile=@./Kismet-20160301-22-30-03-1.gpsxml.gz -F Send=Send https://wigle.net/gps/gps/main/confirmfile/

Currently that works but it may not in the future as at the top of the site your posting to it says "NOTE: this version of the site is slated for deactivation!"

This message has been there for ages.

Since the old API is now gone, here's how to post a file using the new one via curl:

Code: Select all

curl -i -H 'Accept:application/json' -u <token> --basic -F file=@./<filename> -F donate=true https://api.wigle.net/api/v2/file/upload

Just replace the file name with the file you are going to upload and the auth token with the one visible in the sample curl field here:
https://wigle.net/account

Or you can skip the token part and just upload the file anonymously.

curl -i -H 'Accept:application/json' -u <token> --basic -F file=@./<filename> -F donate=true https://api.wigle.net/api/v2/file/upload

I tried that and I get the following:

Code: Select all

HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: nginx/1.16.1 Date: Mon, 01 Jun 2020 21:13:22 GMT Content-Type: application/json Content-Length: 83 Connection: keep-alive Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=63072000; includeSubdomains; preload {"success":false,"message":"File upload failed; an original file name is required"}

Not entirely sure how it's deriving the file name issue. Any ideas?

[strasharo]

What file did you try to upload?

What file did you try to upload?

It was a CSV file from the kismetdb_to_wiglecsv command.

I omitted the @ symbol and used the full path for the file option.

[strasharo]

You need the @ symbol even with full path.

You need the @ symbol even with full path.

curl -i -H Accept:application/json -u <api name>:<api token> --basic -F file=@/home/hal/.kismet/logs/active/Kismet-20220715-08-06-07-1.wiglecsv -F donate=true https://api.wigle.net/api/v2/file/upload HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request Server: nginx/1.20.0 Date: Fri, 15 Jul 2022 08:43:48 GMT Content-Type: application/json Content-Length: 45 Connection: keep-alive {"code":400,"message":"HTTP 400 Bad Request"}

NVM that worked... must have been a network issue.
