Hi. Trying to get some basic CURL commands to work from terminal on my Mac

just returns 'null'

my pi hostname is 'fish' and I have left the default username and password (reef-pi)

could someone help me here? Do I need to enable something on my pi?

Thank you

curl -X POST -c cookie.txt -d '{"user":"reef-pi", "password":"reef-pi"}' http://fishtank.local/auth/signin

can you ping the host with the host name... if not just use the IP address of the reef-pi

curl -X POST -c cookie.txt -d '{"user":"reef-pi", "password":"reef-pi"}' http://fish.local/auth/signin

curl -X POST -c cookie.txt -d '{"user":"reef-pi", "password":"reef-pi"}' http://192.168.1.*/auth/signin

just replace the 192.168.1.* with whatever you IP address of the reef-pi

Thanks. unfortunately this just returns null. I know the hostname is right as I can login using a webbrowser. Any suggestions?

I can SSH into the main pi os via terminal but not using curl into reef pi

Probably has something to do with the fact that even in a web-browser 192.169.1.96/auth/signin (192.169.1.96 is my local IP) resolves to nothing. I.e there isn't a webpage there??? Imagine plenty of people here are using CURL. could you please help @Ranjib ?
