You wrote a bash script. Not a python. Hence the syntax error. curl is a CLI program. Take a look on how to run CMD/CLI commands through python. Or use the ‘requests’ module within python to send an HTTP request.

Request module - https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/master/

  • Ok that makes sense and thank you. i am using Pycharm as an IDE, Can i run it from anywhere in there? All i can see apart from the python window is terminal window which just looks like windows cmd Can i run the curl from within pycharm anywhere? – Lowfell Jan 10 '21 at 08:09
