8,788 PointsAdding json argument to curl request returns "(23) Failed writing body."
In the Mailchimp API track, in this video https://teamtreehouse.com/library/mailchimp-api/mailchimp-api/retrieving-list-data at the 5:00 mark we are supposed to enter in the request in the following format:
curl https://us10.api.mailchimp.com/3.0/lists | json
This is the same format used later on in the video (around 5:30). The nice thing about it is that it pretty prints the output of curl rather than the barf you get without | json.
Problem for me is, terminal says:
-bash: json: command not found
Shows the curl progress temporarily, and then returns:
(23) Failed writing body
curl requests made without the | json argument are successful.
