How to use PATCH verb with curl

This is the format you should use:

curl --request PATCH https://api.viafoura.com/v2/dev.viafoura.com/pages/7000000043515?status=closed

That API seems to want the status parameter as a query parameter on the url, not part of the PATCH body.

At this point the server is going to return a 401 error: "You must be logged in to modify page settings." Assumedly you have to login first with something like this:

curl --request POST "https://api.viafoura.com/v2/dev.viafoura.com/users/login?password=TeNn!sNum8er1&[email protected]"

I've used the credentials from their documentation in that example, which I figured would work on their dev server, but its currently returning an "Incorrect password" error.

If you have valid credentials, though, you should get back a session cookie which you can then use to authenticate your PATCH request.

I was trying to PATCH to a tastypie resource with a similar curl request. For me the problem was the data had to be passed in like so:

curl --data '{"field": "new_value"}' -X PATCH http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/v1/resource_uri/pk/

Notice how what I pass to the data flag is inside of what looks like a dictionary passed as a string, rather than putting the param directly as in the question. Of course a param works too as already answered, but hopefully this helps some people.
