How to send a GET request with Wget and output it on the screen

Question

The command below successfully sends GET requests to a secure server with the Wget Command which saves the output in the “response_from_API_server.json” file in the same directory.

Is there any way to show the command output on the screen instead of saving it into a file?

Sample code:

wget -S --ca-cert=/etc/ssl/AAA.crt 
--certificate=/etc/ssl/[email protected] 
--private-key=/etc/ssl/[email protected] 
--header="Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate"
--header='Accept-Charset: UTF-8'
--header='Content-Type: application/json' -O response_from_API_server.json
--post-data '{"email": "[email protected]", "accountID": "myaccount1234"}' https: //examplewebsite.com//ourUsers/findAccount

Instead of -O response_from_API_server.json try -O-. Instead of saving the response to a file it prints to stdout.

Awesome, I think that worked pretty well!

Saving to: ‘STDOUT’  [<=>                                                   ]       0  --.-KB/s                {"ourUsers":{""accountStatus":"ACTIVE","email":"[email protected]"}                   [ <=>                                                   ]     252  --.-KB/s    in 0s
