Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) is a powerful content management solution used by businesses worldwide. Whether you're a developer, content creator, or system administrator, knowing how to efficiently interact with AEM can significantly boost your productivity. In this blog post, I've curated a unique collection of cURL commands for AEM, gathered from various reliable sources. These commands serve as invaluable tools for simplifying common tasks and streamlining your AEM workflow.

Understanding cURL Commands:

cURL is a command-line tool for transferring data using various protocols. In the context of AEM, cURL commands allow you to perform a wide range of actions, such as interacting with AEM's RESTful APIs, executing administrative tasks, and automating repetitive processes. Whether you're managing assets, configuring workflows, or deploying code, mastering cURL commands can make your AEM experience more efficient and enjoyable.

Benefits of Using cURL Commands:

Simplify AEM Operations: Perform complex tasks with ease using simple command-line instructions. Increase Productivity: Save time and effort by automating repetitive tasks and workflows. Enhance Collaboration: Share cURL command snippets with team members to promote collaboration and knowledge sharing. Gain Deeper Insights: Understand the inner workings of AEM by exploring its APIs and endpoints through cURL commands. Improve Development Workflow: Integrate cURL commands into your development process to expedite testing and deployment tasks.

Essential cURL Commands for AEM:

NOTES

When using curl to insert UTF-8 content instead of -F use:

--form-string

Example:

curl -X POST -u "admin:admin" -F"_charset_=utf-8" --form-string "text-ja=サーバーへの接続に問題が発生しました。数分待ってから再度お試しください。" \
    http://localhost:4502/content/site/jcr:content/par

Since version 1.0.6 of the Sling Security bundle, you will get Forbidden when accessing endpoint, without valid user agent or without CSRF token, to fix add some header to your curl :

AEM_SCHEME=http \
AEM_HOST=localhost \
AEM_PORT=4502 \
AEM_LOGIN=admin:admin \
CURL=$(which curl) \
REFERER=${AEM_SCHEME}://${AEM_HOST}:${AEM_PORT} \
SERVICE_TOKEN=/libs/granite/csrf/token.json \
AEM_TOKEN="$(${CURL} -s -H User-Agent:curl -H Referer:${REFERER} -u ${AEM_LOGIN} ${REFERER}${SERVICE_TOKEN}  | sed -e 's/[{"token":}]/''/g')"  \
${CURL} -H User-Agent:curl -H Referer:${REFERER} -u ${AEM_LOGIN} -H CSRF-Token:${AEM_TOKEN} -X POST ${REFERER}/content/jcr:content -F jcr:primaryType=nt:unstructured -F jcr:title=Test

you can check valid User-Agent headers here:

http://localhost:4502/system/console/configMgr/com.day.cq.wcm.foundation.impl.HTTPAuthHandler

you can check valid CSRF User-Agent headers here:

http://localhost:4502/system/console/configMgr/com.adobe.granite.csrf.impl.CSRFFilter

alternative is to set allow empty and 'allow.hosts.regexp':

http://localhost:4502/system/console/configMgr/org.apache.sling.security.impl.ReferrerFilter

The following CQ curl commands assumes a admin:admin username and password.
For Windows/Powershell users: use two "" when doing a -F cURL command.

Example: -F"":operation=delete""

Quotes around name of package (or name of zip file, or jar) should be included.

CSRF Request in Scripts

Here is how to add CSRF to your scripts

AEM_SCHEME=http
AEM_HOST=localhost
AEM_PORT=4502
AEM_LOGIN=admin:admin
REFERER=${AEM_SCHEME}://${AEM_HOST}:${AEM_PORT}
SERVICE_URL=/libs/granite/security/post/authorizables
SERVICE_TOKEN=/libs/granite/csrf/token.json

AEM_TOKEN="$(curl -s -H User-Agent:curl -H Referer:${REFERER} -u ${AEM_LOGIN} ${REFERER}${SERVICE_TOKEN}  | sed -e 's/[{"token":}]/''/g')"

echo "CSRF Token: ${AEM_TOKEN}"

HEADERS=" -u ${AEM_LOGIN} -H User-Agent:curl -H CSRF-Token:${AEM_TOKEN} -H Referer:${REFERER}"

echo "Headers: $HEADERS"

curl ${HEADERS} -FcreateGroup= -FauthorizableId=testGroup1 ${REFERER}${SERVICE_URL}
