Use native curl syntax with Vercel CLI

Software Engineer

You can now use native curl syntax with the Vercel CLI. The vercel curl command accepts full URLs, bare hostnames, and the --url flag, and uses your Vercel auth to bypass Deployment Protection.

vercel curl https://example.vercel.app/api/hello
vercel curl example.vercel.app/api/users -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"name":"Ada"}'
vercel curl --url https://example.vercel.app/api/status --compressed

URL-based invocations against any deployment

If you've linked a project, you can also pass just a path:

vercel curl /api/hello
vercel curl /api/users -X POST -d '{"ok":true}'

Path-based invocations against the linked project

Update to the latest Vercel CLI version and run vercel curl to get started. Learn more in the Vercel CLI documentation.
