I want to write java code to implement this curl command:
curl --form "file=@7_018011.gif" --form "apikey=helloworld" --form
"language=por" https://api.ocr.space/Parse/Image >> m.txt
where @7_018011.gif is the name of the image i want user to input to send the request to a RESTFUL service. Where can i start ?
Where can i start ?
Start by reading the javadocs for Process and ProcessBuilder. Read the linked (duplicate) Q&A as well.
However, note that the >> m.txt is shell syntax, and you can't pass that as an argument if you run curl directly. In other words, some of the solutions to the linked Q&A are not directly applicable.
There are two alternatives:
Run via a subshell; e.g. run this command:
sh -c 'curl --form "file=@7_018011.gif"
--form "apikey=helloworld"
--form "language=por"
https://api.ocr.space/Parse/Image >> m.txt'
Implement code to write the output to "m.txt" in Java.
